No. But I compiled Kernel 2.6.12.4 yesterday with 'CONFIG_M386=y', got some warnings from the compiler related to '486 and higher instruction set', and will try this kernel today on my EPIAs ME6000. > With a few well placed printk's I was able to determine that the halt > was happening inside init_frametable() in arch/x86/memory.c, at the > point where it calls memset(frame_table, 0, frame_table_size). IMHO you should get warnings or errors, if you compile for VIAC3_2 (386, 486, 586 should also work), which lets you find the locations. But maybe there are other glitches, as I would assume from my (bad) 3 years experience with this hardware. > Unfortunately my C & ASM skills being what they are (i.e not great) Same here;-) Helmut Wollmersdorfer
