Hello!
We have a small server running FreeBSD 8.3 amd64 with Intel Pentium D
945 CPU. As the motherboard/CPU combo is getting rather old, we are
considering an upgrade to new motherboard with Xeon E3-1230 CPU. We
currently have these CPU settings
in /etc/make.conf:
CPUTYPE?=nocona
in kernel configuration:
cpu HAMMER
Almost all the software is built from ports, few bits compiled
directly from source. Base system is maintained by buildworld.
Can we expect the software compiled with above CPU settings to run
without problems on the Xeon E3? We had a chance recently to try a
temporary motherboard/CPU swap in this server, replacing the CPU with
Core i3-2xxx and there were some 'signal 11' errors, but I'm not sure
whether this was due to incompatible CPUTYPE or something else.
Thanks in advance,
