I seem to have misunderstood.  You had a kernel panic with one of his 
kernels and some version of BL2.

If your K6-2-450 worked and my K6-2-475 did not, it must be the Compaq 
motherboard or the hard drive causing the kernel panic with the usb2 
kernel.

Maybe this latest kernel was designed to work with loop linux (insmodding 
loop with initrd) but not yet with msdos file systems or my smartmedia 
card.

Do you know how much RAM DSL requires?  SW91 live CD would not boot with 
16MB but did boot with 32MB and is non-gui.
