Hmmm...  Maybe "yes".  Maybe "no".  Maybe barking up wrong tree.

Fire up that F11 and tell us the output from:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Is it possible this is an older motherboard what was an i586?  F12
switched from i586 to i686 and a number of the old AMD 586's and some of
the earlier Geode cpu's no longer work.
