I have tried to run DSL from a CD on my Dell Latitude D610 laptop - no success. I keep getting the error message "Bad EIP value. <0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!"

I have already tried
* DSL 2.0 and DSL 2.0 syslinux
* failsafe option
* noswap, nopcmcia, vga=normal...

If you have any idea what is the problem and how can I fix it, please help. Thanks.

I don't know if DSL supports this boot option, but try  running nobiospnp in the boot line.

Either DSL doesn't recognize the parameter or it doesn't help here. I see no change... Following this thread I tried to switch PNP off in bios, but it is not possible (no such option there). I am not sure if the is DSL problem, Dell problem or something specific to my laptop...

Try booting the non-syslinux version and type:

dsl acpi=off

and see if it works.

Yes it does !! thanks a lot. This time the dsl has started without further problems.
Are there any negative effects of the "acpi=off" ? What does it do?
