I have two gentoo boxes, X has an ASUS M2NPV-VM with AMD64 3500+ CPU, Y has a AMD64 X2 5600+ CPU. Since I need more juice on X I thought I could swap CPUs.
After updating X's BIOS the system with the 'new' CPU boots up to the MythTv screen with no error but does not respond to the USB keyboard nor to the remote control keypresses. More precisely: - keyboard is fine at grub boot, I can select up and down or edit the entries - keyboard is no longer responsive at the init scripts start (when you can press 'I' to select services) My first thought was that X (and Y) WERE compiled with '-march=native' GCC flag and maybe the 5600+ does not execute properly the 3500+ code. But a quick search on wikipedia shows that 5600+ has a superset of the 3500+ so I should have problems putting the 3500+ in the Y box, not vice-versa. Any suggestions? raffaele
