Re: Netra X1

[Robin-David Hammond <muaddib@bestweb.net>]

I recently messed with an OEM board from GulfCoast that was very similar to the
T1. didnt have much luck with it. everytime i put in more than 1 GB of ram the
2.2 kernels could not figure out how much there was an refused to believe the
mem= arg.

we did load linux on it (RH, SUSE) but not with nearly enough ram.

dont recall if debian worked.
