kernel panic with Latitude D610Forum: Laptops Topic: kernel panic with Latitude D610 started by: och Posted by och on April 03 2008,15:11
I am resuming activities around DSL after more than a year of interruption and I am very surprised to be unable to get it work:Just after giving the cheatcodes vga=normal (otherwise the screen stays dark) debug, the system tells me one attempted to kill init process (EIP=0). I had just got the current iso (4.2.5) from the Belgium http site. I also tried older versions (3.2 and 3.1) I used to work with and got the same result. I tried an old GIS-KNOPPIX (V1.0) which worked nicely... I tried the same DSL CD's on my Optiplex 745 and went a bit further for, after "Scanning for USB devices" it "can't find KNOPPIX filesystem." So it is not strictly a laptop issue but I was not sure where to post (and I want to make it work on my laptop). Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on April 03 2008,15:36
That laptop is known to have (varying) problems - try a forum search.For the other machine, how is the optical drive connected? If the interface is SATA, try booting with the sata cheatcode. If scsi, you can grab the modules off a download mirror and use those. Posted by Juanito on April 04 2008,06:41
Isn't this something to do with needing the "noacpi" boot code?

The laptop is now working thank to acpi=off cheatcode. In spite of having read a lot of posts in this section, I had not imagined the D610 was so "well-known" that a mere search on its name could give so many related posts...The other pc is just getting stuck after loading sata_vsc.o but this is neither the place for that problem, nor my most important issue for the time being. Thank for your help; I hope to get so fast answers on the next posts. |
