Ok I am new to this and if this question has been asked before can you just direct me in the right location on this forum as I couldnt find an answer.I have an old IBM Thinkpad 600 with PII and 288Mb of RAM.I try to boot up my live cd of Puppy 5.1 and after it loaded the drivers I got the message : lupu-510.sfs not found.Drop ping out to initial-ramdisk console.

Any ideas on how to help?

Many Thanks

This is a fairly common problem with old optical drives. At bootup, there is a short pause. Type:
Code:
puppy ide=nodma acpi=off

This combination has also worked for other users:
Code:
puppy acpi=force irqpoll

Or this one for some Sony VAIOs:
Code:
puppy ide1=0x180,0x386 nopcmcia acpi=off
