Error message while loading

Hi everybody

I've tried to load DSL today. When it said to press space to continue, i did. It tells something like it was loading, text appeared... And an error message.

Code: Bad EIP value
<0> Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init

..And it exploded.. Hm.. Ok
it didn't really exploded..

Someone can tell me what happened. I have a really old computer with 31mo ram. 3gig. And 100gHz. That's why i've choosen Damn Small Linux.

Thanks a lot !

Um, I think you mean 100 Mhz.

Anyways, you'll have to give a lot more information for us to help you (the program you were using, the exact error messages, any relevant logs). We can't read your mind and see what was going on.

Using DSL 2.2 !

satinet · 03-06-2006, 05:37 AM

is this a laptop??

try two things - press F2 and F3.

try the dsl=failsafe (or whatever it is boot time option)

also try "dsl acpi=off" option....

Splout · 03-09-2006, 04:03 PM

Thank you ! I'll try

And no, it is not a laptop

Splout · 03-09-2006, 05:10 PM

Well, doesn't seem to work... Maybe it's to old...

Splout · 03-09-2006, 08:05 PM

Ok... I've try low memory mode and install or something like that.. Anyway, it shows the same text but upward, it's written

hdd: no response (status=0x80)
hdd: no response (status=0x80)
Unable to handle the Kernell NULL pointer deference at virtual adress 00000000 printing eip:
00000000
*pde=00000000
*Then the text i've written here*

Maybe it can help?
