Rather it will look bad for their hardware. Try loading Win NT and see
if you have problems.
I think Linux has reached the point where you can tell them they need
to look at it if they want their hardware to run with Linux. There
are plenty of PC/104 SBCs that run Linux fine.
Maybe play with some of the cache or shadow options. I had a PC once
that locked up if I had system shadow RAM *disabled* - quite weird.
