tux99 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 THAT would certainly explain it. anyone know how far back in MDV history we'd have to go to find one of those? j You don't need a 386 kernel, a (genuine) 586 kernel will work too, just not a 686.

tux99 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Just an update to this old thread, I tried installing Mandriva 2010.0 onto my VIA C3 "Samuel 2" (without the cmov instruction) mini-PC and while the "One" version failed to boot the live desktop, I'm happy to say that the "Powerpack" version installs and boots fine. So that means Mandriva 2010.0 is again VIA C3 compatible (I assume that the "Free DVD" version will install just like the "Powerpack" version, since they are the same, apart from the extra packages in the "Powerpack" version).

kfoss Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Tux99, Thats good to know. I recently pulled an old Epia 5000 with a C3 533MHz processor out of a box (it still posts!) and was wondering what I could do with the board. I'm going to have to cut down some of the high-end desktop graphics, but I'll give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
