Fnord – if you don’t have any luck fiddling with it, bring it to the mailing lists. I was hoping it was an easy answer.

@Justin Sherrill
Nope, there is nothing connected to the laptop – not even a usb mouse.
It also does not matter if i use safe mode booting.

Anything connected to that parallel port, Fnord? Or elsewhere?

I recall an older problem where having something connected to the serial port could mess booting up because the computer would be outputting data to the screen and serial at the same time.

I just tried to boot dfly 2.2.1 on my Dell D420 – it just keeps on stopping
after finding the parallelport. Hopefully i’ll get the time to look at this issue
at the weekend.

Matt’s connection was mangled by the telco that supplies it; I think it’ll be up within 24 hours, but who knows – it’s the phone company.

I’d like to view these links, but everything on the DragonFly website (except the main page) has been down for hours now. :(

Yep, 2 rather lousy dell laptops (D830 and cpx) got dfly here where the old one was easier and the newer is under configuration, dualboot with other os works. Thanks for enabling!
