I had read that the pentium m is more archetectually similar to the pentium3 than the pentium4, wheras it is more functionally similar (in respect to instruction sets, etc.) to the pentium4. I'm using pentium3 for my cflags. Check out the new 2.6 kernels, they have a pentium-m type right in them. Check out tuxmobil ( http://tuxmobil.org/centrino.html ). It is an excellent collection of howtos, and theres one in particular that I think is rather well done. http://cidesign.ca/~chris/gentoo-centrino/ I just did a partial update of it with my experiences. The only problem with not writing down as you go is that you don't remember most of what happened. For those a little slower than the rest, yes I am self promoting. -- Chris I [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: www.cidesign.ca/~chris/ "What time is it?"

I did an gentoo installation on an acer notebook some time ago and searched the web for the correct settings. I can't find the page anymore but I read that some features of pentium4 are missing in centrino CPU's and that the base architecture is pentium3. HTH, Peter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Are you referring to the CRITICAL WARNING in /etc/make.conf? I don't think that applies to the kernel.

Which processor type am I supposed to select when building a kernel (vanilla 2.4.24)? I assumed pentium4, but read somewhere it was supposed to be pentium3. Thanks, Lloyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
