[gentoo-user] repair of a seg-faulting bin-utils

Help! The last update I did built/installed bin-uitls. It is now producing seg-faults. I forgot to make a quickpkg of the old bin-utils before upgrading. Added problem, dead optical drive. No cdrom/dvd or bluray. How can I fix this without having to reinstall from scratch?

Re: [gentoo-user] CPU upgrade and LVM questions.

I don't think a straight 'drop-in/replacement' will boot. The CPU scheduler does change from 'fam10h' to 'fam15h'. The '3DNow!' && 'enhanced 3DNow!' ( used in fam10h ) instructions are dropped / removed in fam15h. Doing the 'emerge -e @world' with '-march=generic' is probably the only guaranteed

Re: [gentoo-user] CPU upgrade and LVM questions.

My two cents worth : Update gcc before changing any hardware. With gcc somewhat current, try this on the replacement CPU. This gives a listing of all CPU supported compiler flags. Including -mtune / -march :) gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target sample of output : -msse4
