hi. i just installed an amd thunderbird 1.33ghz along with an Asus A7A266. I also upgraded to a 450watt power supply so i hope its just as stable :)
Currently I am running the same kernel(suprised it worked actually) that i was using on the previous P3-800 on an Asus P3V4X. Linux 2.2.18 + ide patch (disks are raid1 on an promise ata100) my Q is -- is the kernel best left configured for i686 or i586 ? i was expecting it to crash on i686 but luckily it did not. CONFIG_M686=y CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y CONFIG_X86_TSC=y CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y # CONFIG_MICROCODE is not set # CONFIG_X86_MSR is not set # CONFIG_X86_CPUID is not set CONFIG_1GB=y # CONFIG_2GB is not set # CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not set CONFIG_MTRR=y is my exact kernel config as far as the cpu goes .. the only places i found on the net that seem to have info seem to be down. sorry if this is a FAQ :) (and no i dont want to upgrade to 2.4 i still read about too many problems with it especially swap/memory issues, i don't want to add 1.5GB of swap to my system just because i have 768MB of ram) thanks nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
