Best Amithlon Kernel for AMD 2500 CPU
« on: April 23, 2012, 11:58:22 PM »
I've been using the Kern204nf2 Amithlon Kernel but have noticed my Nforce 5700 Card is not detected properly and treated as a standard vesa driver. Is there a better Kernel to use for Video card Support, or should I build a custom Kernel?

Specs.

ASUS Nforce2 A7N8X-E Deluxe Motherboard (SATA and Onboard Audio Disabled)
AMD XP2500 CPU
Creative SBlive Audio Card
ASUS v9570 (Nforce FX5700) AGP Video
1 GB RAM

P.S. I've also tried Garys Kernel (310kern) but It doesn't work.

I just popped another HDD into my Amithlon system and installed Ubuntu 11, I'll install GCC and try to build a new Kernel.

Does anyone have some instructions on Building an Amithlon Kernel there's nothing on the CD?

From what I can see the Kern310 and Kernel4 builds are for Intel CPU's, there doesn't appear to be any newer Kernels built to support AMD processors.

The last Intel Processor I used was a Pentium II although a few days ago a neighbor threw out a 1.6 GHZ Pentium 4 system which I took to grab a spare IDE HDD for a test build system.

 Is there a specific document explaining Xcat usage on the Amithlon Kernel the only commands that appear to work are Xcat /proc/version and xcat/proc/fb, Xcat /proc/modules complains about an old Linux kernel being 2.4.19 and doesn't complete so I can't use pciinsmod to add modules.
