Hi, all

I have several KONTRON powered industrial PCs running since 2011 under Atom.
Now I would like to install a more recent version of the 386 (not pae)
kernel.
Where can I find a CD (and possibli the USB) image ?
Will that old kernel available in the future ?

adriano

cool!

the usb install image for amd64 is
	http://ftp.9atom.org/other/usbinstamd64.bz2	# installs amd64.

the source can be accessed directly.  the snippit from 9fs is
	case atom
		# import -E ssl atom.9atom.org /n/atom /n/atom
		srv $nflag -q tcp!atom.9atom.org atom &&
			mount $nflag /srv/atom /n/atom atom
for example,
	; ls -l  /n/atom/plan9/386/9pccpu
	--rwxrwxr-x M 2588 sys sys 2623888 Dec 27 14:40 /n/atom/plan9/386/9pccpu

the pc kernel is still available.  unfortunately the usb installer
will install only amd64.  i have a couple of requests to install
386, so i'll take a look at that.

make sure you have a backup if you start installing.  i'll sleep better.

The machines are Tecnint HTE (italian hw manufacturer/integrator)
industrial-rugged-fanless etc etc
DIN mounted PCs powered by a KONTRON ETX module (Intel Atom N270 1.6
GHz, 1GB ram).
The mass storage is a 4GB CFlash (sdD0), the bios support usb boot.

This Tecnint product is expected to be available for 5+ years, so I'm
going to buy some spare units ...

The system I use to create target CFs is quite dated.
Where can I find an up-to-date (but for x86 only) 9Atom.iso.bz2 ?
