I happen to have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 430 CDS (16 meg of ram, pentium 133 ( i think)). Simple story: Old hardware.
I saw the story about people managing to run it on a 486, so I figured I had to try it out, just for kicks!
I started out by just using fb800x600.
I keep getting a segmentation fault, etc. One of the interesting lines says: "Unable to handle kernal paging request at virtual address 6aa7e574".
Any command line tricks I can use to get it to start up?
I'll try to remember to come back and keep you posted on my efforts. ok I just used "fb800x600 dsl failsafe", and I actually got it to come up without crashing.
Now, it is prompting me to "Enter Runlevel". I have tried this in the past, and it always crashes, saying there are no more tasks to accomplish, or something along those lines.
I think I'll try "1".???

INIT: Entering runlevel: 1 INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel []
and it is just sitting there. Is this normal? Now what??? try runlevel 5 (xserver mode)I'm trying it now, I had to actually reset the computer and CTRL+C didn't get me a prompt.
i tried "fb800x600 dsl failsafe" and it crashed this time. So, now I am trying "fb800x600 dsl failsafe". For some reason it is crashing this time. I am getting a "segmentation fault" and loads of gibberish.Next Page...
