AMITHLON not running on my PC

You should put this question to the mailing lists, and preferably with a few more details. From what you say it sounds like a hardware incompatibility at motherboard level, but that's just a wild guess. There may be a way round it.

The emubox.gz kernel still has full support for GeForce2 cards. It's the GeForce3 that need the newemubox.gz kernel, but the new kernel also has improved serial capabilities compared to the original. You will also not be able to use any of the contrib3 or 3b upgrades without the new kernel.

Try the amithlonopen yahoo group. Bernie and some of the other kernel hackers lurk on there.

You will usually get your questions answered on the ML, or at least an attempt will be made to locate the problem.

I don't know why newemubox.gz fails on your P4, but then I don't have a P4, so perhaps I wouldn't come across the problem at all. There may be an easy fix.

As for the serial device to use with emubox.gz, that's powercom.device. The amithlon1_com.device needs the newemubox.gz kernel as I believe it's part of the contrib3 update.
