I have come to the conclusion that the 8.2 version does not like old machines .
I have a small LAN with 4 machines.
Tow of them are P4 @3.0Ghz, one is an AMD K6 333Mhz and the other is a laptop i just got today Pentium MMX 133Mhz 80MB RAM. ( ibm thinkpad 380ed)
DSL 8.2 booted just fine on my pentiums. IT did give me some problems with the AMD. It would freese at boot up and i had to restart like 3 times then it finally worked.
NOw the laptop story....
I got an error saying md5sum error please check your cd press return to reboot. I said to myself it can't be since this is the same CD i used to boot my other machines. I burned another ISO and same error again.
PLease note that this laptop came with WinME and i had to format the hard drive ASAP
So i booted it again with DSL 7.2 and it booted just fine with no problems but i had to enter fb800x600 at bott. I Installed 7.2 and all is fine now but i do not know why 8.2 would not boot??
What do you think?
