I'm having a kinda strange problem. I'm trying to install DSL on a hard drive in an old system I cobbled together from parts (Pentium 200, 64MB RAM).
However, when the system gets to the point where it should start to load Linux, it immediately reboots without so much as an error message. I've tried this with the CD alone and with the boot floppy, and both exhibit the same behavior. I've also tried this with another CD drive, but to avail.
The system can autodetect all the drives attached to it, so I don't think the motherboard is broken. Any ideas?
EDIT: I managed to catch an error message that flashes onto the screen too quickly to read -- in fact I only saw it on a video I made of the boot with my digital camera. All I can make out is the word "detected" in a string of text about one line long. The video is too blurry to tell anything else. Sorry for being so vague!
