I know of lot of the information (and even posts) are old regarding Amithlon but since I've just started using it the last few months it is of high interest to me.
I've been working on a guide on installing Amithlon
http://amithlon.snkbitten.com/files/install/snkbittenguide.htmlwhich is a published Google Doc which is updated as needed and contains pictures and animated.gifs to walk through installing Amithlon.
What I'm looking for now is what hardware people have had success with installing/running Amithlon. I'm looking for detailed aspects more than it booted. Ie...motherboard, motherboard config (ram, ide, sata (sata in native or legacy mode), did Audio work, NIC work, what graphics card (accelerated or vesa).
I'd like to add this to the install guide so others can have a reference of what works and how well. A good motherboard can be one that has enough PCI slots to accommodate PCI cards for sound, video, network and/or TV cards, etc... while an excellent motherboard may be one that supports sound and network with an AGP or PCI slot for the video card.
I know there is a released list with chipsets and all that are supported but I'm more interested in the actual motherboard models that work.
Examples....some I've tested
Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L MB - Socket LGA775 (3 PCI slots)
Chipset Type Northbridge: Intel® P35 Express - Southbridge: Intel ICH9
IDE (kernel 3 & 4)
SATA (kernel 4)
USB
Motherboard:
ASUS A8N-E MB - Socket 939 (3 PCI slots)
Chipset Type NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra

USB
NIC - 1 GB
Motherboard:
GA-MA790FXT-UD5P MB - Socket AM3 (2 PCI slots)
Chipset Type - North Bridge: AMD 790FX - South Bridge: AMD SB750
IDE (kernel 3 and 4)
SATA (kernel 3 and 4)
USB
Video Card:
Nvidia FX 5500 PCI 256 MB (hardware accelerated)
Nvidia FX 5200 PCI 256 MB (hardware accelerated)
Nvidia PCX5750 PCIe 256 MB (vesa mode)
Nic:
Realtek RTL8139D 10/100 Mbps PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
IBM ThinkPad T30 802.11b Intel M3AWEB56GA 91P7215 26P8520 MINI-PCI (laptop)
Sound:
Soundblaster Live PCI
Or Systems:
Dell Latitude C610: - Laptop
Onboard Audio, USB, IDE, NIC

Mini-PCI slot
Dell Inspiron 5150 - Laptop
Onboard Audio, USB, IDE, NIC
Video (vesa) (Radeon 9000 or Nvidia FXgo5200)
Mini-PCI slot
You don't have to be as detailed but the more the better.
You can just list what video card you used and if was hardware accelerated or what sound card you've used, etc..
Thanks.
