Try some of the suggestions in this link..
http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....=cs4232

My Thinkpad is a 770, but it also uses the crystal cs4232 sound chip.

I'd at least try to manually run these commands......

" cd lib/modules/2.4.22xfs/kernel/drivers/sound/ "
" insmod uart401 " ..... if no errors, then try..
" insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5 "
...... again, if no errors ,
" ctrl-alt-bksp " ....to exit X
" startx " ........to get back into X

See if you have an audio icon in your right bottom corner.
If this works, read linked post for making this permanent.

I too have a thinkpad 380

My problem is with 0.8 booting and warning me that no KNOPPIX file system is found.
It boots into a ' limited ' shell ( it's words ) and pretty much leaves me in the dark.

Isn't the KNOPPIX FS on the CD.
I know my partitions are not KNOPPIX but I need to load DSL in order to change anything.
The partitions are a 2 GB ext3 , a 500 MB ext3 and a 200 MB swap , rest is free.

I want to keep the 500 MB something portable across various OS's, others can change.

How can I get DSL loaded to install to my HD?

Does running " failsafe " at the boot prompt work for you ?

You mean type failsafe at the ' boot: ' prompt.
Yes tried that and same results.

The CD finds no KNOPPIX fs and loads a shell prompt.
However I have no idea how to proceed from there.
I'm assuming the shell is bash but nothing tells me either way.
And I have no idea what ' commands ' are built into the knoppix shell that is loaded.
It reads something like ' knoppix#> '.

So I'm trying to figure out what happened and how to install to the HD. However I'm not sure it is even loading. I would like to try it out before commiting to an HD install. But so far it doesn't ' seem ' to be loading DSL.
