On the couple of laptops I've worked with I had to use the "NO" options at boot.
I assume you're using a liveCD to boot. When it starts up and you see the DSL logo, press F2. I can't remember all the options but one of them is NO followed by a list of items.
I'm writing this from memory but I think I usually start a laptop with:
DSL NOPCMCIA NOACPI XSETUP
or something close to that (check the list from the F2 boot screen)
I add a lot of them at first and then start removing them one by one and rebooting till I find the minimum I need to boot the laptop.
Good luck

======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "
