Jenny’s Daily Drivers: Going 32-Bit With SliTaz In 2026

We’re used to seeing technologies move with the times, and it’s likely among Hackaday readers are the group who spend the most time doing that and are most aware of it. There’s on…

The actual message is not, strictly speaking, an error. It just means that you're bootstrapping the non-EFI way, and your machine's firmware does not adhere to a convention (I believe from DOS+Windows 95 and the 1990s) for marking "not an MBR virus and safe" firmware add-on disc device I/O handlers.

It's unlikely that F000:F0BF is actually unsafe, as that's in (notional) ROM.

This message is very likely a red herring.

The odd thing is that the linear address does not match the segmented address.

It's likely not the true cause of your problems, though; but the mis-match might be symptomatic.

One after the other, Linux distributions are dropping support for the Intel x86 32-bit architecture. This is a concern when running legacy hardware, as well as for embedded systems still based on the Intel 32-bits architecture.

Open Source OS Still supporting 32-bit Architecture and Why it's Important

One after the other, Linux distributions are dropping 32-bit support. Or, to be accurate, they drop support for the Intel x86 32-bit architecture (IA-32). Indeed, computers based on x86_64 hardware (x86-64) are superior in every way to their 32-bits counterpart: they are more powerful, run faster, are more compact,

I wanted to replace a broken old #Debian installation with #BSD.
But the target machine is one of those rare 32-bit #UEFI systems without #BIOS CSM and it looks like there are no prepared BSD images for this platform type.

It's an #IntelAtom Z3735F with X64 support, but the firmware don't activate it.
I think it's strange for an #IA32 machine to come without BIOS support.

Finally, it will become a   12 i386 which has built-in support for UEFI IA32.

Too bad it doesn't work with BSD.

Hello! Let's get my #introduction going here.

Professionally right now I work as an SME in a #PenTesting group for a regulatory company, but it's really not my bag of tea in the long run. That I can feel. I much prefer to be in an investigatory and tool-making field for something related to #DFIR . I was especially happy doing #ReverseEngineering of #malware .

I'm into reverse engineering, assembly languages like #IA32 and recently #ARM / #ARM64, programming (old classics like C/C++ / #Python but learning the newer stuff like #RustLang ), big into #forensics, #RasPi and #Arduino projects and such.

Still trying to figure out what I am career wise, though, like job title and such! It's all great fun to me, just haven't found the direct niche to sink into.

Hobby wise, I'm also really into #GuildWars2! Long time gamer at heart.
