Other Help Topics :: can't boot from cd

Try booting with this command at the boot prompt:

fb800x600

or maybe:

dsl vga=normal xsetup

and then try XVesa at some different resolution settings like 800x600x16bit
for example.

nope, didn't work

similar issue,

DSL cd runs on my desktop system just fine but on my laptop I get as far as the "press return to boot" screen and then I get a blank screen.

However if I try with the arguement:

dsl vga=normal xsetup

I get as far as uncompressing Linux...ok booting the kernel
_

with the above underscore blinking and nothing after that.

i've also tried the arguements:

noapm and

dsl noapic also have tried vga=safe and the frame buffer options.

Same with my box. CD starts on some other PCs. (so it´s not damaged, i guess)
Knoppix LiveCD starts OK.
Any hints ?
