Unsupported configurations
- Currently some AMD K6-2 processors of unknown steppings are not compatible with GRUB, the boot loader that AWOS uses.
- 64-bit computers are supported, but will run in 32-bit compatibility mode (64-bit processors are not detected; however, 64-bit processors start up in 32-bit mode and as such will run AWOS).
- Other keyboard layouts. This is an ongoing problem and support for other keyboard layouts will be added to the kernel at some point in time.
- 'Headless' computers, or computers without monitors. Serial TTY drivers are being developed but are still experimental.
