Hi. I don't know for now.
There is ton's of issues while switching to protected mode (ipxe for example: https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/commit/bc35b24e3ebd2996b2484b7f9ceb96a3cf25823a https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/commit/bc35b24e3ebd2996b2484b7f...).
It just stuck when I select it from PXE menu and I didn't debugged it further.
Maybe someone can figure it out and send patches or advices.
Also it's not my goal to run gray386linux on i486 machines because I have another distribution: gray486linux, which aims specially to systems with 486 CPUs.
- andrewf 4y agoBut what about folks who want to give their 386DX system a speed boost with RapidCAD? Will they have to re-install their OS? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM4NPh5qg8Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM4NPh5qg8Y But seriously this stuff is very subtle. An issue (probably different) from a HN thread on similar matters: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30801836 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30801836
- helf 4y agosnort The RapidCAD is pretty amusing since it’s literally just a castrated 486 (no L1! Eek!) The Cyril gray top FastMath FPU is the best bet for an upgrade and still being a real 386 (I’m hunting for one for mine ) - https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=65991 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=65991
