Amithlon

[SnkBitten]

Installation guide part 2 is in progress, with what's done available now, with more to come, soon hopefully.  Replacing kernel 3.10 and it's driver modules with kernel 4 and it's driver modules.  Also I've added the basics of installing Genesis and configuring the network connection.  Published Google Doc so changes/additions happen as I make them.

**Edit**
Anyone ever run across Gary Colville's 3.10 kernel source?  I have his 3.00-test1 source and compiled it last night, trying to get a look at what he did vs. what Milan did on Kernel 4.   Gary's 3.10 kernel was much more "complete."

Picasso96Mode use added to the Installation Guide Part 2.

I had no idea about SetConfig.

This has become one of my favorite threads.

I hope your site stays up so I can reference this in the future. Great source of info.

Thanks.  I'm always looking for any information on Amithlon - tweaks, hacks, etc. that can be applied.

So....everybody share their tweaks  I'm hoping to compile everything I can find on my site so it can be easier for others to access.

Once I have Part 2 completed I'll create .pdf and .docx versions so people can easily download if desired.  I also need to write out new versions of those formats for Part 1, as I've made a few changes since I originally created those.

Wow, almost a year since my last post on this topic, probably because there is very low interest in Amithlon these days

Some updates to the installation guides.  Some additional Picasso96 install/updating information in the main guide and starting to add more Setconfig options, and what they do, in Part 2.   Any thing I'm missing, please let me know as I really want the guides to have as much information as possible.

I've also contacted Doobrey about adding the Amithlon "shape.rom" to ROMsplit which he has done.  It's still beta as he has more things he wants to add/cleanup before releasing a new full package.   He has provided the beta with the request no one host it elsewhere and be fully aware it's a beta.

You'll need a previous version installed and copy the included files over the current version.
This should allow us to customize the kickstart rom embedded in bigird.gz and smallird.gz though you'll have to replace it inside those using a linux system and a loop mount of the files.
