Looking for some info on the Capio II thin client turned up info that DSL will boot on that machine and it also uses a Geode CPU. So my comment about requiring kernel flags may be wrong. However, in order to boot the Capio, the person was first booting MSDOS and then having MSDOS boot the Linux kernel in the autoexec.bat file. So it is possible the MSDOS boot is setting the flags we need for the Geode, and it is equally possible DSL already has them built-in. I don't know but I may have lead you down a false path.

By the way, for the work we've been doing with the Eon 4000 and IBM 8364 thin clients, we've been using Syslinux to boot the machines. It seems to be fairly reliable that way and also fairly easy to setup. Of course this alternate suggestion for using MSDOS to boot and then tricking it to run the Linux kernel also sounds nice. I'd really prefer it be something simple to do from a Windoze box.... I'm just not comfortable enough with Linux yet....
