Turns out my solution way easier than the path I started on--my brain often does that to me, coming up with the better solution, but tardy.
I went back to the original finished build on the i7-940, my "Iron Horse" candidate. (Apologies if I misunderstood you about that.) I added that --build parm to the configure in my ch6-11-gmp-6.1.1 script, calling the result ch6-11-gmp-6.1.1a, with all my normal "pio" package management. That compiled fine on the i7, and one of my tools collected all the pieces in an "update tarball". Carried that to the Conroe and applied it. Then the kernel recompile went smooth--no reboot required, as you thought. So now I have two as-builts, 6.1.1 for an i7 and 6.1.1a for generic CPUs. Don't think I want the first one for this next iteration, "Brass Monkey" candidate. Thanks, Bruce. -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
