I'm replacing my P3 850/Asus CUV4X with an Athlon 2700+/Asus A7N8X-X, but would like to keep my gentoo intact as much as I can.
Currently I use CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" and have things like mmx and sse in my USE flags (should I take those out and use 3dnow instead?). I also use LVM with vgroups for usr, usr/local, var and tmp.
I wonder if this will even boot now. Can anyone give me some hints about the best way to make the transition? Any help appreciated.
Try this:
1) Pull the HD from your old system and shove it in your new one. 2) Fire up your new system with the Gentoo install CD 3) Mount your old partitions under /mnt/gentoo say 4) make a chroot jail like you do when installing
.. at which point, the new Athlon system starts using the P3-optimised binaries, and if they don't work, starts segfaulting. You might as well just boot the system directly on the new hardware (compile yourself another kernel first ;P ).
5) modify make.conf to your liking (athlon-xp CFLAGS and new USE stuff)
6) emerge -ueD world
7) when finished unmount the chroot jail 8) Rebood to your new system.
