Tiny Core on HP Omnibook xe4500
« on: March 05, 2020, 12:28:34 AM »
Hi,

  I download Tiny Core 11 ISO image. Burned it to CD. I boot on HP Omnibook xe4500 machine with 756 MB of RAM. CD is booting but hangs on ISOLINUX 4.05 message.
I try to boot the same CD on the other newer HP workstation and it boots without problem.
Have you any idee what can be wrong ?

Some old BIOSes have incompatibilities with isolinux. Workarounds include that one boot floppy (I forget the name), doing a manual install from another linux live cd, etc.

Somone could create iso with grub (grub4dos) or script that TC users could create their own iso.
