I have the above laptop that will not boot up. It starts up ok but gets stuck at:
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt - 0000, errno = 8

Is it a bios problem or is the laptop incapable of using Puppy?

Ram 32Mb
Hd 2Gb (DOS loaded)
cdrom
usb ports 1

I have tried boot option 1, 2 and default.

This version (I think 1.05) works well on my 533MHz Celeron desktop.

Well I can't help you, but you're not alone with that problem. I have the exact same error with my Toshiba Tecra 520 (P166/32MB/2GB) and Puppy 1.0.6
That message just fills the screen, over and over. I've tried Ctrl-C to try and skip whatever it's trying to do, but to no avail. All it responds to is Ctrl-Alt-Del Confused

DSL works fine, so I might just go with that instead but I heard puppy was faster so I gave it a try.

Near the end of kethd's post:

32MB - gets farther, fails in endless loop:
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt -0000, errno = 8
(CTRL-ALT-DEL restarts)
48MB - same as 32MB


So pupster, I guess we're stuck... Sad

Try DSL instead, it works for me.

Boot option 1 is the default. Wink Did you not try option 4? (No hard drive.)
