G'day,
Does anyone know if the Linux' IA64 Kernel will run with Noconas? Windoze XP 64-bit doesn't seem to at the moment.. (http://www.2cpu.com)
Cheers, -Mal
The IA-64 Kernel will not. IA-64 is for the Itanium series only.
The X86-64 kernel might. I remember vaguely reading something in a 2.6.recentish chagelog that some of the X86-extended features or whatever intel calls it had surfaced in the kernel source.
Maybe have a look at the change log of some of the recent 2.6.x kernels. Look for references to EM64T and the Nocona.
Also look for email addresses @intel as they were doing quite a bit of submitting.
Cheers. D.
