I wonder about the hardware requirements for grml and couldn't find anything in the wiki and in the mailinglist-archive so far.
See http://grml.org/faq/#requirements
The reason why I am wondering is, because I have a very old laptop (IBM Thinkpad 600E, Mobile Pention II, 228 MB RAM) on which I tride to run the live CD and failed so far.
There is always the same error:
IO APIC resources could not be allocated. RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 4194304 invalid compressed format (err=1) Kernel panic- not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(253,0
Other live CDs work, though: Knoppix 3.7 (*not* 3.8), Sidux Chaos (dated February 2007) and even Ubuntu 9.4 Desktop.
Any idea if I could make it work and how?
Does booting with 'failsafe' help?
