Przemcio,

I have a Toshiba Satellite 4000CDS and my sytem hang also after the processor check. Some where in the forum I read that the most likely cause is problems with pcmcia. So I gave as boot parameter 'dsl nopcmcia'. This resolved the hangup and DSL started.

But because I disabled pcmcia I couldn't use my networkcard. After more searching I found out that in the BIOS I had to change the 'PC Card Controler Mode' from 'Auto selected' to 'CardBus/16-bit'. After that I didn't need the 'nopcmcia' boot parameter and DSL found the networkcard. This might work for you too.

I don't know anything about your memory problem but I doubt it is the reason for DSL not starting.

Success, Vance
