When trying to boot with:

Quote
LABEL userdef
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND ramdisk_size=2304 init=/etc/init lang=uk vga=788 nosound noapic noscsi nodma noapm nousb nopcmcia nofirewire noagp nomce nodhcp xmodule=vesa initrd=miniroot.gz BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix


I receive the original...

Quote
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx ... Segmentation fault"


...error (and a susbtantial quantity of hex!) I reported (it appears to do this thrice) - this is the furthest I have managed to get through the process yet. From here. it pops up:

Quote
<6>Freeing unused kernel memory: 132k freed
INIT: version 2.78-knoppix booting
INIT: No inittab file found

Enter runlevel:


Now I've been through this, and neither 2 nor 5 will allow me to process futher (neither will any other number, for that matter). It simply returns:

Quote

INIT: Entering runlevel: x
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel


???  :laugh:

Now, I slept for six hours whilst it was at that screen (which has a flashing cursor underneath, but no prompt) and nothing happened. So I'm off to get drunk, and with any luck it'll have magically sorted itself out when I return.

Aloha :;):

Neither my attempt to get drunk, nor my attempt to further the dsl  install succeeded. :( I'm still simply hanging at the 'no more processes in this runlevel'

Is there anyway to start dsl from within something like tomsrtbt where I can set and activate a swap partition to alleviate my memory worries?

*cough*

Well, adding mem=16M to the syslinux.cfg seems to have done the job :laugh:

What can I say? STFW?

???  :laugh:  :cool:

Your patience in not flaming me to death for being an imbecile is appreciated, and I'm now up in X: DSL rocks :)

Congratulations on getting things to work.

I believe the correct greeting here is:

Welcome to the revolution.

Seriously, nobody should get flamed for trying hard to get things to work right.  I think the frustrations come out when someone just types in a post with the message body of "It won't boot.  Help me or else I'll start using MS Windows™ again and you wouldn't want that, would you?"  that unleashes a can of whoop-a** on themselves.
