Looking at the 2.6.16 sources, it appears that CONFIG_CPU_GENERIC sets all the cache size options of CONFIG_MSPC (em64t), and the only other difference is that CPU_GENERIC doesn't set -march at all. So if -march=k8 doesn't break em64t then it should be fine, well assuming the cache size entry doesn't matter either. So from what I see: CONFIG_K8: CACHE_BYTES=64, march=k8 CONFIG_MSPC: CACHE_BYTES=128, march=nocona CONFIG_CPU_GENERIC: CACHE_BYTES=128, march=not set So does some expert on the instruction set know if the march is a problem? I imagine the kernel packagers know and hence know what they are doing with dropping generic. :) Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
