Indeed, I can't remember any U-Boot update for the X1000 Seriously, it's my impression that xeno74 seems to update Linux for the X1000 no less than he does for the X5000.

There was only beta tester revision and then "final" CFE

It seems to be easy to fix kernels. WHat I wonder is since GCC support PA Semi why knowledge of X1000 (and x5000) and patches were never upstreamed and became included in official distros and net distros - which would make life easy instead of DD hell and similar.

Second, GNOME and much stuff cannot be used on SI cards, as well, unlike IBM POWER 9, chosen arch seems not to have support over Ubuntu 16?

Even Linux situation is a bit dire when compared to e.g. ARM.

This would have to be taken up with ACube or Hyperion, not A-Eon.

In the blame circle area, I dont care anymore. They shift blame. End result is the same.

They still are, I guess It would have been better to sell the system with a GbE card, but 100MbE should be enough for most uses, given the overall bad state of TCP/IP in Amiga-like operating systems.
