Thanks Mikkel, That appears to be the fix. As I have only done this a few
times, I have another question. I selected PPro as the cpu type in
menuconfig but I notice that in all the lines I have seen scroll by, the
-m486 flag is set.. Is this correct?
Here is the processor section from .config:
#
# Processor type and features
#
# CONFIG_M386 is not set
# CONFIG_M486 is not set
# CONFIG_M586 is not set
# CONFIG_M586TSC is not set
CONFIG_M686=y
CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y
CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y
CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y
CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y
CONFIG_X86_TSC=y
CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
# CONFIG_1GB is not set
CONFIG_2GB=y
# CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not set
CONFIG_MTRR=y
CONFIG_SMP=y
The sample from the previous post still applies:
cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -D__SMP__ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce
-m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2
-DCPU=686 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include
/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/modversions.h -c -o
radio-miropcm20.o radio-miropcm20.c
There are two pentium II 333 MHz processors in the machine
Any help appreciated.
Bret
