Nothing I seem to do gets this to install. Apparently required IDE.


Similar issues with DOS and XP overcome by settiing SATA to ATA and UEFI to
Legacy in BIOS.

Yes, the OS is old, but so is the laptop Vostro 3560, HDD Samsung SSD 950
EVO and SATA Hl_DTD+RW-GT60N

Here is one search result that may apply/clarify 
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-5-20399-0.html


And I tried a number of settings including home= ata pci=bios
mount yields rootfs, root.old proc and sys (only the last 2 give ls results)
directory of disc (DVD not CD, if matters) yiels to directories, boot and
KNOPPIX, later with two huge files KNOPPIX and KNOPPIX2 neither has img
extension required for home= and I don't know what the /dev/ for the CD is
as no dmesg works. the minimal OS uses busybox and is really minimal.

Much obliged for help
