Re: [gentoo-user] single core athlon?

Thank you, I only tried another distro for quick checking of hardware.  current bsd (at least netbsd) doesn't so i figured that if it's possible at all Gentoo would be the way to go, besides i prefer to only use one distro at a time, though i've spent some time with 3 brands of mainframe all

Re: [gentoo-user] single core athlon?

I have one of those under my desk at home. Finally switched it off for the last time about 2 months ago. So yes, you can run 64 bit Gentoo on it just fine. Make the appropriate changes in make.conf and away you go. Just because distro X does not support cpu Y in mode Z does not mean that the

There is also a test program to see if the vulnerability is there, i'd definately check that as well, best to check both considering how terrible the but is.  frankly amd and intel will still have software vulnerabilities, particular apps are being patched but if an exploit is developed in the

[gentoo-user] microcode applied?

Does the absence of a "microcode updated" message in dmesg imply that the microcode was not updated? I believe my fam10/barcelona AMD CPU will use amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin but there's no update message. I've checked the config against another system that works and cant see any errors. Is

[gentoo-user] single core athlon?

Does any body know if it's possible to set up gentoo on a single core 64 bit athlon, old socket 754?  I tried another distro and it said it didn't support non-smp 64 bit.  If not i'll have to put some 32 bit os on it.  I'm planning to use it mostly for a local boot server for os installs or

[gentoo-user] Microcode updates for "old" Intel CPU's

I have several sandy/ivybridge CPU's and I was wondering if anyone knows as to if intel is releasing microcode updates for them. It sure would be funny if intel wanted you to buy a new CPU to fix a problem that was their fault to begin with.

Hi, everytime I emerge something, a LOONG list of installed linux-gazettes is printed on my terminal, which warns me -- for each single gazette -- that it will be masked. To find the real output in all this mess is at least difficylt. Is there a way to supress that output other than
