I read that to mean that you selected an old CPU type that doesn't support some options you've selected. 3 questions... 1) What is your CPU type? If you're not certain, post the output from "head /proc/cpuinfo" 2) What CPU type have you selected in "make menuconfig"? Processor type and features ---> Processor family (?????????????????) ---> 3) Is the answer to 1) the same as the answer to 2) ? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
