it has been a long time since i last did a build.. so I set up on my fedora 17
machine to do it.. and things wet pretty well but I have some questions..
I set out to build for soekris net5501.
the same packages I have had issues with in the past seem to give me trouble
again.. rhino, linux-atm, and lm-sensors
I built crosstool-ng Ok and have a good toolchain. except for the above
packages my astlinux built fine..
I was wondering why does crosstool-ng use kernel 2.6.35? (seems old).. Im
assuming I can bump it to whatever I wish to work with? as long as I first
build my toolchain with the same version?
id like to be on 2.6.38 or higher..
also in the kernel config.. it used to on the OLD versions of astlinux set up a
very nice minimal kernel load and selected the geode_LX and optimized options
for the soekris net5501.. now it seems to use a rather generic kernel config
file.. how do I get back the nice optimized for soekris kernel config??
it didnt seem to make a difference when I selected geode or generic i586 in
the menuconfig.
also I noticed that during the build the system only ran up to about .7 or .8
load factor.. I am running a core i7-3770k , is there a place where i can have
the CPU more utilized so the builds complete faster? during the toolchain
build it ran the load up to 1.6 or so and completed in 20 minutes which I
felt was good.. but in the astlinux build it seemed not to make use.. id like
to set it as high priority since it is a dedicated dev machine...
