Could be a bad burn. You could burn the ISO again on x4 speed.

If anything it may get the ball rolling

Hi sidders,
thank you for answering. I burnt at 4.0-4.2 speed.

Is it possible that starting the remastered puppy (505 MB) it tries to load completely into RAM (all the 505 MB)? My RAM has 384 MB.

Yes. Puppy will try to load your entire pup_412.sfs file into RAM. If you don't have enough RAM but you have a swap partition, the excess will go into the swap partition. If you don't have enough RAM and don't have a swap partition . . . you're likely to get the result you got.

I'll go to try to make a swap partition to see if this will work.
