Interesting. I've only tested on my 32-bit Intel Atom N280. The i7-2600K and the i5-5200U (not sure what is in RayeR's Compaq) are 64-bit capable chips. Maybe that is the difference? I could pull out a Core i5-4690 and burn a CD for an Athlon64 3000+ I have. I think I have a Pentium Gxx too that would be easier to USB boot. Hmm. I suppose recompiling with so that dsl.com doesn't boot the Linux kernel in `quiet` mode would help debugging.
