How did you type these funny I, E, A and Y's or is that inserted by your
provider as a spamtrap protection?
Anyhow, still no atari at this end, but I think the Atari kernels where
never built with 060 support. Looking at the kernel-config for 2.2.20:
# Platform dependent setup
#
# CONFIG_AMIGA is not set
CONFIG_ATARI=y
CONFIG_HADES=y
CONFIG_PCI=y
# CONFIG_MAC is not set
# CONFIG_APOLLO is not set
# CONFIG_VME is not set
# CONFIG_HP300 is not set
# CONFIG_SUN3X is not set
# CONFIG_SUN3 is not set
# CONFIG_PCI_OLD_PROC is not set
# CONFIG_Q40 is not set
CONFIG_M68020=y
CONFIG_M68030=y
CONFIG_M68040=y
# CONFIG_M68060 is not set
I don't know if it hurts, if 060 support is not selected, maybe there is no
support for Milan yet in the kernel? Hades (some atari clone?) has a
selectable option, maybe Milan needs one as well?
Might be worth trying to build an atari kernel with explicit 060 support
just to test this. Any atari experts here that could tell me if this is a
waste of time because milan is not supported by the kernel yet?
