Re: [orca-list] probably compatibility problem of Linux kernel

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

I don't think it's surprising that some machines will fail booting a
live cd--whichever distribution. There are far too many hardware
possibilities for a single cd rom to support. In other words, the art of
creating a live cd is, in great part, the art of deciding what to leave
out.

If I'm understanding your post, you're using an IBM laptop--I'd guess
some Thinkpad version. I've run Linux on Thinkpads for over 10 years
without serious issues, as have others.

If I further understand your post that the crash happens early in the
boot process, the problem is almost certainly driver related. You can
use Speakup or Brltty live media to start this machine--or to install
the distribution so that you can simply run from your hard drive. But,
do not expect perfection from live media--at least not until we can get
live media on multi-gigabyte flash of some kind.
