Of course, I overlooked that option: RedHat has been shipping kernels optimized for 686 for years. Isn't it about time to publish a FAQ about trivia like this (disk geometry issues, set OS to serial I/O, "no, you currently can't boot off USB" etc..)? And yes, I know, it's not Soekris' responsability etc., but most people who buy a Soekris box plan to run an OS on it. Referring [new] Soekris owners to such a document would at least be a bit friendlier than the usual "search the archives". User base could supply OS-specific details, hosting and manpower for coordination and maintenance (I could spare a few hours every now an then..) Where there's a list, there's usually a FAQ, so why not here.
