No luck on antique laptop

[omer]

I tried installing the alpha on my ancient, now 25 or 26 year old Toshiba Satellite 320CDT -- this is a laptop with a Pentium MMX 233 CPU and 96 MB RAM. Very low spec, obviously. I think Debian 7 or 8 was the last Debian that I was able to successfully install on this machine.

Every boot option produces a screen with just this message after the kernel loads, as OCR'ed by my phone:

Is the CPU too old? I ran a memory test and it didn't find any errors in the first pass.

Anyway, thank you for all the work you're putting into DSL!
