User Feedback :: Toshiba Satellite Pro 430 CDS



With only 16 megs ram, you may need to start s l o w l y ..

First, try "fb800x600 failsafe 2"
This should boot into a root console only..

If successful, then you should create a swap partition on your HD.

Once you have created a "type 82" partition on your HD, reboot
See if having the swap allows you to boot and startup X

I really want to avoid modifying my harddrive. I have a perfectly good OS on it already.

Besides, what fun is it if I cheat?
ok, trying "dsl xsetup"...

it started the second half of the process, then appeared to go unresponsive. I couldn't quite tell if it was doing anything, since I couldn't see the text at the bottom of the screen.
am now trying "fb800x600 dsl xsetup"

OK, got prompt for "Enter runlevel".
