I have a shiny new System76 laptop with a "3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3720QM
Processor (2.60GHz 6MB L3 Cache - 4 Cores plus Hyperthreading)".
It comes with Ubuntu, so naturally my first move was to split the Ubuntu
partition in half and install gentoo. I will say no more about my first
experiences with Unity.
The Ubunto uname -a says "3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:52:48
UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux".
I installed the latest stage3 tarball and set up make.conf as
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
When I try to compile gentoo-sources-3.5.3, it tells me
scripts/mod/empty.c:1:0: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64
instruction set
My home system is dual Athlon, ancient, and ~amd64.. I haven't kept track of
all the Intel processors, but the kernel config doesn't have many choices.
