You would need to build a kernel with this older support to boot Bodhi on this hardware. Ubuntu tries to keep it's kernel as generic as possible, but it is impossible to support all hardware no matter what you do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954467314386661328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-61411335092044608662011-11-29T19:21:56.666-06:002011-11-29T19:21:56.666-06:00I was very excited about installing bodhi linux on...I was very excited about installing bodhi linux on my 512MB Ram, AMD K6-2 compaq 7470 when I received the error about CMOV. In fact, I am quite certain that Bodhi will not install on a plethora of older AMD systems (AMD K5, K6, K6-2, K6-3), some of which are quite over the minimum 300Mhz as advertised on the Bodhi site. The K6-3 even competed directly with pentium IIIs. Is there any way to "easily" get around this, other than the obvious (switching to another distro). I am not a linux guru and lack the expertise to compile older kernels, etc.<br /><br />Linus's comments on CMOV:<br />http://ondioline.org/mail/cmov-a-bad-idea-on-out-of-order-cpus<br /><br />I especially liked this one: <br />"CMOV is a piece of CRAP for most things, exactly because it serializes <br />three streams of data: the two inputs, and the conditional."<br /><br /><br />-DanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-31290305596607372302011-03-24T10:36:23.895-05:002011-03-24T10:36:23.895-05:00Awesome!

I am one that had the 0.1.5 boot problem about a week ago.<br /><br />I did see the recommendation of the forum post "Pentium 1 - Wrong Kernel" to replace the kernel. I have enough spare disk space on my primary desktop to load Bodhi and do what is recommended. I wouldn't be put off in re-compiling the kernel as I did that a couple of times back in the days of Linux 1.x. The one thing I would like to know is if you re-compile and do any tweaks to Makefile?<br /><br />If I have success, I will gladly contribute back my work to the Bodhi project.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-91127664096133087832011-03-17T14:38:39.953-05:002011-03-17T14:38:39.953-05:00Hi.

Well, I got confused about the specs that says "System Requirements Minimum are a 300mhz i386 Processor"... shouldn't be corrected to a "i686 processor"? It seens that this RC is compiled for that.

Any idea why, or functionality not implemented yet?<br />I will carefully follow the evolution of your project, and hope it won't drop E17 (like MoonOS did), or stop updating (like OzOS and OpenGEU did)...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-91402049623053249102011-03-15T03:13:28.067-05:002011-03-15T03:13:28.067-05:00I tried Bodhi after reading the Dedoimedo review j...I tried Bodhi after reading the Dedoimedo review just to see how crappy it really was. Guess what..its not crappy at all. I quite like it actually!! Very nice to actually have a bare system and having a choice on what you want installed. The use of Enlightenment is also refreshing. I wonder how many people tried out Bodhi after reading that review, and how many people where pleasantly suprised (such as myself) at how good this OS really is!! keep up the good work!markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092612503449543530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-67467639329134551442011-03-13T19:08:48.952-05:002011-03-13T19:08:48.952-05:00me he descargado las 3 ultimas versiones y cada ve...me he descargado las 3 ultimas versiones y cada vez estoy mas contento, excelente trabajo!miguelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-17122546462490824202011-03-13T13:11:13.312-05:002011-03-13T13:11:13.312-05:00Bodhi uses sudo instead of root.
