| Message-ID | <meisi3$64e$1@reader1.panix.com> |
I'm compiling my own kernel and I'm confused at what I am reading in the
configuration file This machine is a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8500
and my choices in the menuconfig is:
│
│ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ ( ) Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8 │ │
│ │ ( ) Intel P4 / older Netburst based Xeon │ │
│ │ ( ) Core 2/newer Xeon │ │
│ │ ( ) Intel Atom │ │
│ │ (X) Generic-x86-64 │ │
│ │ │ │
│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
So, I think I need the core 2/new Xeon but the help message
CONFIG_MCORE2:
Select this for Intel Core 2 and newer Core 2 Xeons (Xeon 51xx and
53xx) CPUs. You can distinguish newer from older Xeons by the CPU
family in /proc/cpuinfo. Newer ones have 6 and older ones 15
(not a typo) Symbol: MCORE2 [=y]
Type : boolean
Prompt: Core 2/newer Xeon
Location:
-> Processor type and features
-> Processor family (<choice> [=y])
Defined at arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu:254
Depends on: <choice>

Yes, you need to select "Core2/newer Xeon". The distinction "newer
Xeons" is because Intel has also made Xeon versions with 64-bit support
based upon the Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture.

Troll? LOL One might think *YOU* were trolling with such a ridiculous "question", if it wasn't completely obvious that you wouldn't be smart enough for such a task. Seriously, though, you have a "Core2" processor and don't know that the "Core2" choice would probably be the right one? Really? REALLY?? -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as he dressed up like Santa and grabbed his axe.
