(My apologies, it's my first time making use of mailing lists.) I installed Arch on a different laptop with a similar CPU (released in the same year) just fine, both are Core 2 Duo, so it should be 64 bit. I installed OpenBSD on another laptop that's much older, that one had a 32 bit CPU, and I remember being unable to boot a 64 bit ISO image on that one at all, so if it were a 32 bit CPU, I should have known that. -- lain.

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?
