Marion, That is why I noted it in my post. I knew I was not supposed to use the 386/486... selection, but not sure of which one to use. Core2 seemed like the only one that was close. A Google search did find this post, which also indicates to use the Core 2 entry: http://fixunix.com/setup/532919-intel-atom-kernel-configuration.html
Do you know which entry to use? Regards, Eric Atom is NOT "Core2" architecture!!! Atom is 45nm Silverthorne, minimalistic, low-powered, low-performance CPU that has the lowest common denominator of any parts needed in a CPU. 1.6GHz Atom has about the power of a Celeron 220 or less. You need to pick a different, proper architecture first, Wikipedia should point you to which one it is. On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 2:37 PM, Eric H.
