Linux kernel removing 486 support

(1/3) > >>

danielibarnes:
This conversation came up a few years back, but looks like it will happen now. Ingo Molnar wants to remove 486 support from the Linux kernel:
x86: Remove support for TSC-less and CX8-less CPUs

CNK:
Also note that, due to a bug, TC16 doesn't boot on a 486 unless the kernel is recompiled using the patch I suggested here.

cparke:
I do wish that TC will continue to offer a kernel which supports 486 in future versions.

Juanito:
That's the aim - if possible

cparke:
Is there any browser in the TCE library that works on the 486?  Or is a custom build of firefox or chromium needed for that?
