Is your old machine 32 or 64 bit architecture?
I think recent crux versions only work on 64 bit.

Greetings.

I installed Crux on an old ThinkPad by following the handbook
religiously.
At first I couldn't get it to boot at all, but I already solved that one
by marking the main partition as bootable.
But now when I boot up, I'm getting the message "Failed to load
ldlinux.c32 Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to
continue.".

When looking up online, I only get results of people being unable to
boot either Ubuntu or Arch from USB (which is not the case here), or
people who are supposed to install for UEFI but installed for BIOS
instead (my laptop is pure BIOS, UEFI on laptops other than MacBooks
didn't exist yet at the time this laptop came out).

So how can I fix this?
