Proposed 32-bit EasyOS shelved
The last couple of days, have been working on a 32-bit
Dunfell-series. Did a complete recompile in OE, for a i686 CPU
target, compiled a 5.15.55 kernel, got it to boot on my old
circa-2005 Acer laptop -- or rather, it started to boot.
At the switch_root, got a kernel panic -- the famous "tried to
kill init" message. Should be fixable, but I can see this soaking
up another week, and it is fragmenting my time too much. There are
already lots of issues with the 64-bit version 4.2.7, so decided
to get back on track, just do the one thing.
Discussion about this proposal here:

Might come back to the 32-bit Easy at some future
date.
