First thanks Jonathan, I'll try lucid Xavier that is fascinating info, thanks http://www.larwe.com/technical/geode_linux.html <quote> The first problem you may encounter if you install your Linux distribution on another computer is that you'll get an i686 kernel installed, and it will not boot. It seems to have problems finding a Pentium-style TSC when booting on a Geode. GX1 does in fact have a TSC at MSR 10, but the i686 kernel installed on an Intel/Via/AMD on 7.x's install CD will fail to find it, and will panic. To rectify this, use the kernel-x.x.x-i586.config configuration as a starting point, then make config and make bzImage to build your kernel. </quote> But the real deal, mine hangs without proceeding past (not) booting. (it is a gx3, but example I pxe boot SuSE installation disks OK) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
