Hi ke4nt,

I'm trying to install DSL 0.8.2 on an IBM ThinkPad 365XD (P120, 48MB, 1.5GB), I'm getting the, can't find... limited message as well... I believe it a scsi/ide issue as when I boot from a DSL floppy and choose expert I can see that the cdrom drive is being identified as hdb, but then DSL tries to load scd0. I tried passing noscsi, but DSL still goes for scd0, even in failsafe and expert modes.

FYI
TomsRtBt boot for me, but an old version of muLinux does - and even allows me to mount the cdrom drive.

Since all cdroms are treated as scsi devices, the scd0 is quite normal..
truly, hdb is only for a hard drive, but you may see it here before the
scsi emulation kicks in..

The only times I get the "limited" messages is when the
IBM is havng problems reading your CD...

Did you try a slower burn speed ? (4x or 2x or 1x )

Hi ke4nt,

Wow! Fast reply!

My burn was at 4x to a business card sized CDR. Hmm... it may be a bad burn... muLinux can mount it but index.html may be corrupt (everything else appears fine). I'll check the cd5sum of the CDR to see if it's bad.
