I finally got started on trying to build LFS on the new box. Much of
the hardware seems to be working ok, but I haven't tried burning CDs or
DCSs yet, and I don't know if the CompactFlash reader in the floppy
drive works. Built -in Ethernet and sound are n't tested and the video
card has not been tested with X.
It looks like I need to build a cross-compiler in order to compile
64-bit code for this system. I expected something out of the ordinary
when I decided to use the Athlon-64.
There are two temperature sensors in the box. I left them coiled up for
now, and they show an internal temperature of 85.4 degrees. I will
probably monitor the CPU temperature later to see how hot it gets.
One interesting thing about a SATA drive. It shows up as hde instead of
hda, apparently because the motherboard also has two regular ATA
connections.
