I have been trying from many days to bring back the life to my old Pentium 4 machine having 1GB of RAM. But first when I boots it stucks here ( shown in the image)
Then I decided to to run the live-USB based Puppy Linux, it normally boots from the USB but got stuck again, this time on "Recognizing optical devices ".
Next time when I booted I turned off SERR error generation from BIOS, but again, it stuck at the same point, only this time it shows some error which I am posting:
I have tried many other OS but the same problem still persists. Please help me identify what is the cause of this problem.
What were the other OSs you tried? BTW, if you aren't able to get a solution here, Puppy's own forum, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/, has a concentration of experts and is a good resource.

The 'Not tainted 3.14.55' jumps out at me. Googling it, along with "puppy" and "slacko" brought me to a possible solution... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/puppy-71/puppy-hangs-on-start-up-4175575524/
