Im trying to get a HD install of DSL onto a 486 dx2 Panasonic CF-41 Laptop with 20MB of ram and A 250MB HD I have  a 3com 3C574-TX PCMCIA NIC

here is some info on the CF-41


I try to do a DSL=2 after using a startup disc and a CD.  It gets to
PCMCIA Found starting cardmgr and then it dies.  

Ive tried a few other choices stoping at the same time.

when I run failsafe it runs but of course with no hardware support.

I also have a 60MB fat16 partition with the knoppix file on it as well and does the same if i boot to that instead of the Hard Drive.

Any ideas what to do?

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.

ok so I got DSL installed to the HD

when i boot "linux 2" it detects the PCMCIA NIC (yea) but then it goes into a loop saying the following:

ide-scsi: expected 12 got 24 limit 12
hdc: lost interrupt
ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - disgarding data
ide-scsi: [[ 43 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 c 0 0 0 ]

it loops that over and over.

any ideas?
