BIOS Limit von 504 MB für Festplatten umgehen mit FAT32, dank EZ-Drive

Ältere 386/486 Mainboards bis 1994 erkennen im BIOS zwar vermeintlich mehr als 504 MB, aber letztendlich lässt sich eine Festplatte unter MS-DOS oder Windows 95/98 trotzdem nur mit maximal 504 MB ansprechen und partitionieren.

Um trotzdem mehr als dieses Limit nutzen zu können, gibt es diverse Lösungsmöglichkeiten mit Vor- und Nachteilen:

I finally got #Debian 12.0.1 i386 DVD version to install on this HP Stream 7 tablet - But it was a struggle and took a while.
Now I have a mostly usable system on it, but I'm not sure what I'll use the tablet for. LOL.

Having just read some #PDP11 assembler code, and similar in #m68k, #sparc, and #i386, my big take-away was that literally everything in computing would have been better in a world where #Zilog won.

Запуск x64 программ на ARM или почему вы не захотите этим заниматься

Вам нужно было хоть раз запускать x64 программы под Linux на ARM платфоме? Если да - это статья для вас. В ней я рассказываю про способы запуска программ с другой архитектуры на ARM. Также это статья для вас, если вы хотите на будущее знать способы, которые есть для запуска. Когда наступит эра ARM-ноутбуков и ПК вам это может очень даже пригодится.

Debian 13 drops support for i386, which is bad news for my parents' laptops. I don't have the time to help them hop on a different distro right now, but I wonder if anybody here is in the same boat.

@[email protected] and @[email protected], my two faves, still offer support. FreeBSD demoted i386 to tier 2 in 2021. What else is out there?

Debian 13 "Trixie" is Out, Supports RISC-V and Drops i386 architecture: https://www.debian.org/News/2025/20250809 #linux #linuxgaming
#update #release #foss #debian #distro #trixie #riscv #i386

Debian officially takes out i686 disk images!

Debian 13 “Trixie” has just been released today to bring many improvements and new versions of packages, such as GNOME 48, KDE Plasma 6.3, and Linux 6.15 LTS. As we have speculated earlier back last year that the i686 support was declining, further evidenced by Debian taking out the i686 kernels, our speculations made last October were made right.

Debian has joined the majority of the distros that no longer provided the i686 architecture support for kernel and for installation disks. Starting from Debian 13 “Trixie”, you can no longer use the Debian installer disks made for the i686 processors. Anyone who still uses the i686 version of Debian 12 “Bookworm” won’t be able to upgrade to Trixie.

If you’re looking into upgrading to Trixie, consider one of the following options:

• If your computer’s processor supports the 64-bit instructions (the oldest processors that support them are AMD Athlon 64 and Intel Pentium 4 Prescott, Cedar Mill, or higher), you’ll need to back up your crucial data and re-install Debian with the 64-bit installers.
• If your computer’s processor only supports 32-bit (older Intel Pentium 4, Pentium 3 or older, and AMD Athlon XP or older), you have one of the two options.
  • Stay on Debian 12 “Bookworm”
  • Find another Linux distribution that supports 32-bit, such as Arch Linux 32

V historii jsme některé Debian Linux servery instalovali ještě s architekturou i386. Protože to je už architektura na ústupu, s čím dál menší podporou a také hardware v serverech se mezi tím (třeba i několikrát) změnil, postupně jsem všechny takové stroje zmigroval na amd64. Postup je poměrně spolehlivý, jen 2 stroje ze ~40 jsem musel obnovovat. Jak na to je cca vidět tady:

[Перевод] Абсурдно усложнённая схема регистров в Intel 80386

Фото кристалла i386 с обозначенным блоком регистров (полномасштабная версия фото доступна в оригинале статьи) Революционный Intel 80386 (1985 год) стал первым 32-битным процессором с архитектурой x86. Как и большинство процессоров, он содержит огромное число регистров, которые являются ключевой составляющей, обеспечивая сверхбыструю обработку данных в сравнении с основной памятью. К ним относятся регистры общего назначения, регистры индекса и селекторы сегментов, а также специальные регистры для управления памятью и разработки операционной системы. В этой статье я буду говорить о кремниевом кристалле i386 и объясню, как в нём организованы основные регистры.
