Amithlon

[trekiej]

One question I have is, what does one need to get better resolutions after boot?
I adjusted p96 and all appeared to be the same.
It seems to point to the video card.

Hey Duce,

What kernel do you use? And what is your grub menu.lst line for that setup? I can't get it to work with 4x512mb, I can only get it to boot with 2x512. Also, I can only get the pcie gpu to work in VESA mode. Please help. Are you using onboard usb/ethernet/sound as well or do you have other pci cards? Thanks!

@Duce please help with the above!!

Compaq EVO 310 Desktop boots Amithlon

I'd be willing to get one of those if I was sure it would work nice with amithlon.

Does accellerated video and sound work right away or need some tweaking?

What screenmodes can it do?

[Duce]

I use onboard sound, nic and etc on the Asus mobo.  Only problem I ever ran into was some SATA issues.  Using latest Amithlon/kernel, nothing special.

Hi guys,

I happen to have a legal cd-version of Amithlon, which I've never used and I don't think I ever will.
So, if I can make some-one out there happy with this cd, just let me know.

Johan, I'd be interested in that cd for sure!

Hey Steven,

Since you are the first one to respond: it's yours. Please pm me with your details.

How does one install the cd that is in this post as an iso?

[Duce]

Download the iso and burn it to a CD, same as anything else.

Or virtually mount it, boot it off a USB stick, whatever you prefer.

[trekiej]

Cd burned and bootable.
What Linux live cd's would be good to make the partitions?
Slacko 5.7.0 has an Amiga partition option.
I believe I need to make a partition that Linux does not make.
I guess I could dd to a usb drive.
How about a hard drive?

I also would like to know what Linux distro is best for amithlon ?

[Duce]

Try running the A8N-* board with only 2 sticks of RAM (1 GB) installed.  Been some reports of things acting up with 2 x 4 512 MB modules, esp on older Amithlon revs.

I belive fdisk or cfdisk is the one that allows for more choices in the type of partions.

I also see that a HP a6137c works with Icaros Desktop.

What I have seen is type 76 reserved.
I have not found a program yet.
One site uses a fdd.
