It does, but the architecture is different. A 286 won't run Linux.
Are you sure? I thought

Sort of. The 286 had a truly brain-damaged segmentation scheme. It did
run protected-mode

Hi Guys,
I just found my old Compaq SLT|286 from the 1990ies! It has 640KB of RAM,
no mouse and a 80286 CPU at 12 mhz! I get Non-System disk or disk error
replace and strike any key when ready When i try to boot it (some things
never change) so i am supposing it either doesn't have a hard drive

I'm sorry, I don't think it will work unless you make some special effort.
I don't think the 80286 has a memory management unit, and one is required to use
the normal kind of Linux

Unfortunately, the linux kernel itself will not work on a 286. I too,
had a sweet 286 gotten from somewhere else that looked like a novelty
linux machine, that might churn out 1 SETI work unit every

Are you sure? I thought that the mmu was introduced only in the 386. I
think I still used direct

Linux requires a 386 CPU. Remember Linus wrote it as a learning project to
