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) ?
