The 1.0rc CD burn from download and try to boot on ME6000. It always stop while probing H/W. The same CD can boot from AMD or Intel system as I use now with no problem. Do anyone have some trick or guide me to DSL forum discussed about Install DSL on MiniITX especially ME6000.

Have you tried any of the bootloader cheatcodes? Perhaps ACPI needs to be disabled

Thanks Brian AwPhuch. My system already disable ACPI in BIOS(?) if i understand correctly. But about the bootloader,I dont use bootloader yet it come with DSL CD. Please correct for any misunderstand. And sometime boot it report Kernel panic at the end.

Try starting with

dsl failsafe

and see if it works.

FYI, you can disable ACPI in BIOS but this does not prevent the operating system from trying to use ACPI and it may lock up.

so,

dsl noapm noapic acpi=off

may still help.

Thanks for suggestion. I try with failsafe and dsl no.... as recommendation the result almost the same with cloop error report as below example. The good sign for me that it recognise my CPU once only. The report are described as follow:
