AmigaOne Updates by Alan Redhouse

now have huge facial omelettes to try to remove

The pretty much insulting tone won't make my doubts entirely disappear: if the VIA issues were so widely known (and repeatedly hinted as fixed ages ago), what are the "some Linux driver - and VIA south bridge initialisation issues"?

Sorry for bringing the topic up again, but I feel the tone pretty provocating. Self contradicting statements from Ben Hermans in just a few days matter of time (by the time of the ominous checksum error screenshots) didn't help the case.

Their "rivals" had a tough time with stability as well - 2 revisions of a hardware fix, then switching the entire northbridge and building a brand new machine was a heavy financial blow.

It seems to me that those questioning the stability of either system were pretty right on spot back then. W/O omolettes to remove.

My 2 eurocents

The AmigaOne-XE has gone through professional testing and the various claims have been proven to be FUD.

Professional testing... And you are pointing me towards an user review? You must be joking.

I dare anyone to crash an April 1 Pegasos running linux DMA enabled out of hardware problems.

Yet there are issues with the April 1 fix (which I have), but require an expert.

There are some problems which don't show up in Linux, but can show up in MorphOS  purely because MorphOS is more demanding (Linux hardly uses the Radeon blitter to the same extent as morphos in case of solid window moving, resulting in sound distortion caused by the Articia AGP lock issues with Radeon). And there are those which are randomly or rarely occuring, and only in special cases.

Yet, believe me: there are serious differences between an April 1 and April 2 Pegasos.

Sorry, neither me, nor you, nor Dave P are hardware experts.

EDIT - references corrected

Articias were never used in a desktop computer and after some time problems arised, I don't know why people are so sure that Discovery chipsets is free of bugs...

AFAIK no one stated that it is free of bugs. The discovery chip's abilities are still subject to determination. But it is OT
