Thank you Dave, I wonder why I didn't check that. You are right, the english wiki article about the amd geode also mentions full x86 compatibility for the geode LX but I am a bit confused about that now. It seems that the problem is more complex then. I am already running 12.04 without X which i installed on the CF-card using debootstrap and chroot. It boots and runs on the alix but it crashes every other week without any error message in the syslog or any error in the kernel log at all. sometimes its completely dead, sometimes i can still ping it and switch terminals but not log in any more or perform any action with it and it has to be rebooted. then it runs again for another week or two. i have been completely unsuccessfull so far to link it to any action that could trigger the crash. I discussed this with some people on ubuntuusers.de and the response i got was that the geode LX would only be fully compatible with a 486 kernel. It was said that theoretically it could boot and run with a 686 kernel but crash if some functionality would be used that asks for something that the processor doesnt understand. So far this has been the best explanation of the situtation as it is happening all the same on three different alix boards since some months which all have been running extremely well with voyage linux (debian) before, since 2007. Im waiting for your suggestions and otherwise switch back to voyage then. Thank you, Benjamin
