) Anyway, sorry if this thread is increasingly getting off topic for SparkyLinux (which I might give another try too now )), but I thought I'd share this, since it somehow baffles me.Code Select Expand Oct 5 16:14:52 Navi systemd-logind: New session 2 of user irets. Oh well, maybe this old WinXP Laptop had to be slowly accustomed to Linux first. Now I though, what the heck (maybe out of a gut feeling), I'll give Mint 18.1 Mate another try, and. Since Debian or LMDE are lacking some things that I am used to in regular Mint versions, I then gave Mint 17.3 with kernel 3.19 a try, which worked as well and is supported until 2019, so this would have been a good compromise. Now, after the successful Debian episode, I gave the Debian spin of Mint a try, LMDE2, which, with the i586 kernel version, also worked. That's why I started to look around for other distros and eventually concluded that it must be a kernel issue, as documented in this thread: the old Pentium M simply not working with recent 4.x kernels.

Now this is interesting: My initial attempts to install the latest Mint 18.1 Mate, or any other recent Ubuntu spins (with the non pae option) all failed. Is my laptop just too old, or maybe it doesn't have anough RAM? Any idea? Thanks! :) This happens with the sparkylinux-4.5.2-i686-lxde.iso as well as with sparkylinux-4.5.2-i686-mate.iso, md5sum verified. Past that, the screen before the kernel panic looks as follows: It already takes a good 5mn or longer to get past the "Loading /live/initrd.img." line, don't know if this is normal already. When I try to boot into the live image on a USB stick in verbose mode, I run into a kernel panic. I came across SparkyLinux today, so I would like to give it a try, since by default it supports non pae 32bit systems. But Ideally I'd like to find a more recent distro that's still supported. So far I was able to run Lubuntu 10.04 and Puppy Linux on it. Now I'm trying to revive an old Laptop of mine from 2003, a HP nx7000: CPU Intel Pentium M 1.4GHz, GPU ATI Radeon 9000M and 768MB of RAM. :) I consider myself still fairly new-ish to Linux, although I have a Linux backup server running at home for some time now and recently installed Linux Mint as my everyday OS.
