Operating system compatibility
Please keep in mind that ALIX.2 and ALIX.3 boards do not include a keyboard controller. Some
boot loaders may hang and need to be modified.
For best performance, include support for AMD Geode LX / CS5536, and use a current driver for
the Via VT6105M LAN controller (supports TCP/IP checksumming, byte aligned transmit buffers).
Reboot is best triggered by port 92h.
FreeBSD
Current versions of FreeBSD may panic due to issues in the EHCI configuration. Disable EHCI
driver if problems appear.
FreeDOS, MS-DOS 5.0
Tested ok, booting from CF card.
Linux
Try
