Many people are using this with Ubuntu. http://www.dmp.com.tw/ "Vortex86 is a SoC which integrate a 200MHz x86 compatible processor, NorthBridge, advanced hardware GUI engine and Super-South bridge." echo "59.120.27.69 www.vortex86.com" >> /etc/hosts (sigh... their DNS is down) http://www.vortex86.com/index2.html Platform Specifications Tested with: kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8.i586 kernel-2.6.23.1-56.fc8.i386 (built manually) Freeing unused kernel memory: 280k Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 844k At this point it gets stuck. I then took kernel/F-8, make prep, copied config-i586 to config-i386 and made changes so it could build. Had to disable SSB, B43 and B44 so the build would complete. The i386 kernel based on -56 unfortunately has the same problem. I tried all of these options, but they made no difference. pci=nomsi,nommconf nohz=off highres=off nolapic_timer noapictimer nolapic noapic acpi=off I tried "initcall_debug". Nothing displays after "Write protecting the kernel" before it gets stuck. This box has no serial port.

NOTABUG, it turns out that glibc.i686 was installed in the chroot.
