I just finished a stage 1 on a server with 2 P3 CPUs using disk1 of the P3 live CD set.
When I got to editing make.conf, the file from the live CD had CHOST set to i486. That seemed odd, but I left it alone. In CFLAGS I set march to pentium3. Are these settings OK? Should I go back and set CHOST to i686? I don't smell any smoke... This machine has a SCSI controller on the motherboard running a disk and a DAT drive, and an IDE controller in a PCI slot running a second disk. Exactly backwards from a standard n86 box. The live CD found both disks (and they're both partitioned and formatted), but my newly installed kernel doesn't see the IDE -- it does see the ATAPI CD ROM drive on the motherboard IDE controller. Anybody know off the top of your head which config flag I haven't set? The new kernel is an smp (there are multiprocessor things in the processes, and /proc/cpuinfo has 2 listed), but while emerging the server software, I noticed that top was showing 50% CPU idle time. Is there a way to get the second CPU in on the party? MAKEOPTS is set to 3 in make.conf, and I've been emerging things one at a time. -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
