See http://grml.org/faq/#requirements

> The reason why I am wondering is, because I have a very old laptop (IBM

> 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?
