Dick,
I believe the Jetway uses an Atom processor. It's 32-bits and a simple
LILO
installation will work.
This is what it reported back when I had Ubuntu installed:
product: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz
width: 64 bits
clock: 200MHz
capabilities: x86-64 fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce
cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse
sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good
nopl aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm movbe
lahf_lm dtherm
configuration:
cores = 2
enabledcores = 2
threads = 4
When you upgrade everything don't forget the kernel and rebuild the
initrd,
point /etc/lilo.conf to the proper generic and huge kernel versions, and
re-run /sbin/lilo.
Right.
