The rest of the line is greek to me but you might try fiddling with the 
BIOS settings. You don't say what kind of laptop you have but sometimes 
BIOS features have to be turned off to get things off the ground. Don't 
quote me here but I think DSDI  is related to debugging so i would look 
for something related to this in the bios and try to disable it or 
enable it depending on its current status.  You can always, if you get 
into trouble, restore defaults in the bios and also there is usually a 
way to load optimal settings in the bios, which could solve your problem.
