Hello,
I have a problem which I have found out from mailing lists that some
other people had. However there is no clear solution.
The CPUTYPE=athlon-xp in make.conf breaks /boot/loader that system
instant reboots. I am using 6-stable and from what I can see the
problem goes back till about 5.3... Sometime between Oct 12-15, 2005

I wonder if this will ever be fixed or I shouldnt use
CPUTYPE=athlon-xp anymore on FreeBSD because of this?
Thanks,
Evren
I don't propose this as a solution, but as far as I know, the best
practice is:
CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp
Note the question mark.
I don't know that this will solve your problem, just pointing out
the correct syntax, for whatever CPUTYPE you decide to use.
Doesnt the ? mean that it should be set if it is not set yet? I can give
it a try to this, next time I build world however I dont think that it
will compile loader without cputype athlon-xp set so...
Huh? CPUTYPE is optional. Everything should compile and work without it.
I just thought that loader doesnt need to be so optimized anyhow. It is
more important that it loads at boot and there are people on this list
who has problems with the optimizations and I found some more on google.
So the best is to either fix the code in loader or do not optimize it.
Yeah, like me. I was the one who originally reported this problem. But
over a year ago there was an attempt to fix the code by not optimizing
it. This resolved the problem for me.
