  1. So what real effect does removing #i486 support do to the #Linux kernel? I mean, most current Linux distros don't even come in a #x86 32-bit version anymore.

  6. Linux Kernel 7.0.x is the final release supporting i486 hardware.

    It is planned that i486 support will be removed in 7.1.

    The last mainstream development hardware to rely on i486 dates back to the 1990s (around 30 years ago). There were some edge cases in smaller markets that continued using it in manufacturing components into the very early 2000s, but these were not upgradable systems and were never considered mainstream.

    If you're truly relying on i486 today, 7.0.x is as far as you go. Game over.

  8. Linuxista poistetaan tuki 80486 -suorittimille todennäköisesti jo kesän aikana

    Tuki i486 -perheen suorittimille poistuu todennäköisesti Linux 7.1 kernelin päivityksen yhteydessä. Edellisen kerran suoritinarkkitehtuurin tuen poisto tapahtui vuonna 2012, kun Linuxin kernel lopetti 80386:n tukemisen.

  27. Hype for the Future 137B → Installation of Alpine Linux (32-bit)

    Overview The system requirements for Alpine Linux for x86 are based on the 32-bit system architecture of the software, thus supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit systems largely associated with Intel and AMD processors. The architecture is also often known as i386, i486, i586, or i686, depending on the particular system kernel requirements and intended type of system. Usually, with Alpine Linux, the server-side distribution is designed to support certain legacy Intel Pentium processors, […]

  29. 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:
