I am running linux 2.4.6 on my athlon--it should just work as long as you either have a 'generic' 386 kernel or a kernel compiled for the athlon specifically. However, if you want to use rtlinux, you should get rtlinux 3.1 and a vanilla kernel version 2.4.4 (http://www.kernel.org). DON'T use any of the kernels you can get from suse, since they are probably NOT vanilla (meaning they may have some patches applied to them to add some features).
Once you have your 2.4.4 kernel downloaded, patch the vanilla kernel using the patch that comes with the rtlinux tarball, and configure (make config, make menuconfig, make oldconfig, make xconfig) it. The only two really crucial options for you (aside from setting things like your ethernet, scsi, etc. drivers correctly) would be to tell the kernel config scripts that you have an Athlon, and to probably turn on MTRR (although your kernel should run fine without that feature compiled in, MTRR is great since it can REALLY boot video performance, at least if your X server is smart enough to use the mtrr's [personally i should invesitgate whether xfree86 can use them]). I am assuming you are referring to MTRR when you say 'mttr'. -Calin On Mon, 8 Oct 2001, Goran Bervar wrote: > Can somebody tell me which kernel version ( and/or what mttr patch should I > apply if any) should I recompile to make Suse 6.2 based RT linux work on > Athlon?
