I have a nice little amithlon system that is dated but runs it quite nicely. The only disadvantage is that when I insert any more than 1GB of RAM into the machine it fails to boot Amithlon. I *really* like Amithlon. It somehow feels like a more stable and more of a true Amiga than AROS or when compared to other types of emulation. Something about it is really nice.Honestly I doubt people will do it because the Amiga community IP owners are all a bit childish about their projects even long after they've stopped earning income, but open sourcing Amithlon would be such an awesome step forward.
Are the updated kernels easily found in an obvious place? I thought there were a few, or maybe just 1, web pages that tied all of the latest updates together for folks who still want to try Amithlon.It can't hurt to share what you have.
update:I have an emachines computer that was pieced together.It has an AthlonXP cpu, FIC main board, and a Geforce FX5200 graphics card.The main board is fic part number 53-80584-00,and the fx5200 is gf5200ua8d12d-mThe cd booted to workbench. The boing ball bounced with one frame ? stuck at top.I have not installed it yet and want to increase the resolution.Screen mode said possibly out of video memory when going to 16 or 32 bit color.Ram 512 mb and video 128 mb. I will have to recheck that and cpu speed. I believe the cpu speed is 1800+.Thanks.
For anyone interested, if you have a laptop with a mini-pci internal connector, this card works with the Prism2v2 drivers allowing wireless internet. I have a Dell Latitude C610 and a Dell Inspiron 5150 and both of these have the same type mini-pci internal connector.IBM ThinkPad T30 802.11b Wireless Modem Card Intel M3AWEB56GA 91P7215 26P8520.[ATTACH]4828[/ATTACH]
Here's kernel 2.4.37.11 tree patched. Inside the .tar file you'll also find my diff patch file "amithlon.patch" which I used to patch kernel 2.4.37.11.http://amithlon.snkbitten.com/SnkBitten-kernel/amithlon-2.4.37.11.tar.gzAnd if you just want the diff file...http://amithlon.snkbitten.com/SnkBitten-kernel/amithlon-patch.tar.gzThe "amithlon.patch" file was created by running a diff between the stock linux-2.4.37.9 tree and Milan's linux-2.4.37.9-amithlon tree, creating the "diff"erences file which can then be used to patch the stock tree. I applied it to the linux-2.4.37.11 tree and was able to compile a kernel that boots my VB Amithlon.
