The good news: I got it running (by Debian-installing onto a
USB-mounted CF card on my desktop, then swapping in a patched kernel.)
The bad news: 94 bogomips.
I was expecting at least 5x that. The original 2300 has a 200mhz
processor and runs at 400 bogomips, while the new 4300 with its 500mhz
processor runs 1000 bogomips. Is there anything I could have done in
building my kernel to cause the device to run so far below what I
assumed was its potential?
One thing I do need to check: BIO settings that might be underclocking
it. Anything else?
Hey, it's a cute device; it'll make a nice paperweight. :-)
Thanks,
--Eric
