Hi dear Linux x1000 team,
Seems that initrd.gz files
(X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 14.10 install initial RAM disk by Nexus: initrd-14.10-modified.gz
(X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 15.04 install initial RAM disk by Nexus: initrd-15.04-modified.gz
at http://www.supertuxkart-amiga.de/amiga/x1000.html are broken
Gladly, there is an unlisted PDF with weblinks that does work
http://www.xenosoft.de/ubuntu_MATE_15.1 ... -X1000.pdf
However, it omits a fact that kernel files needs to be extracted to cf0: card
Also, during this install with recommended kernel 4.2 it happens that ethernet is not visible, or even worse that it doesn`t see the drives (mine is an SSD but should not make a difference)
If install completes, it runs in terminal mode, even installation of a desktop manager, doesn`t help to startx.
From installed Ubuntu 12 updated to the max, seems there is no way to download and install MATE and as far as I do understand auto upgrade to 14.x or newer kills AEON Ubuntu 12 completely.
How to install newer Ubuntu with MATE?

Running Linux on AmigaONEs can require some tinkering.

Speaking of it, do all RadeonHD cards have problem with sending VGA signal to monitor on power on/resert of X1000?
about 3 out of 5 times I don`t get any screen - which looks ... bad. I was told this was due to card x86 BIOS to CFE misscommunication.
Any workarounds?
(even if workaround means a complete change of gfx card - are all Radeons HD 6000 and above affected?)
