If you're referring to the cache-refresh bug:  That's a bug in the version of Linux that the old AmigaOnes shipped with.  


Nope, thats just how Linux works, and works quite well on any other fairly modern piece of HW. Now remember that the Articia was designed and targeted for Linux, and that a few 1000s "Amigas" will never be enough to refinance development.

So it's either a bug or "incompetent Northbridge-Design", which is nothing else but a bug on purpose.

And if it had been a simple bug, why did it take 4 years to fic it ? And why did the patch never make it into the standard-kernel of any distro ?
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
