Re: Why can't I set my cpu type in kernel config ?
I think it's likely that it is a 64-bit installation. Not sure about that.

Re: Why can't I set my cpu type in kernel config ?
I am installing 8.3-RELEASE on an old 900mhz pentium laptop ... it's an i686 CPU. By default, GENERIC has HAMMER as the cpu, and that isn't working. So I tried both: you've got into wrong directory /usr/src/sys/i386/conf is right /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf is wrong, unless you have 64-bit CPU which you don't cpu I586_CPU and: cpu I686_CPU this is right setting. Another possible explanation... How old is this 900Mhz Pentium laptop? Some Pentium D/Celeron D processors (2004) are 64bit, although I don't know if they made any of the D's less than 1.2GHz... but if so the OP could have installed amd64. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Therefore, it's a matter of having chosen the wrong kernel config, not the wrong OS version. :-) The architecture isn't defined in GENERIC, it defaults to what's already installed. Yes, I think this is done in /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 where the correct GENERIC file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf or /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf is then selected. You have to explicitly set it to cross-build, and I find it hard to believe that someone would set TARGET/TARGET_ARCH to amd64 by mistake In case of a crossbuild, I assume the system would also do the proper TARGET magic to use the GENERIC corresponding to the requested architecture.
