I don't think the Spartan 6 can, it's an fpga with no arm, the zynq can, there's a lot of other arm chips that I assume can run some type of Linux, but the blurry ones are throwing me off

Edit, top left is a 286 CPU, and the Intel one has an earlier date, so they MIGHT be able to ~~run~~walk it, it'll be not good

286 Protected Mode is very different from 386 PM and there is no way Linux will would run on it.

There is a project looking to do this kind of, known as elks that has images for 80286 chips. I have no idea why you’d want to do that to yourself though.

Interesting. Reminds me of PC/IX, and it probably similarly doesn't even enter pm, judging from it running also on an 8086.
