Kernel problems

i switched my processor type from kernel menu to athlon tbird and now i can't compile my nvidia-kernel,how can fix this
i copied bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage is this the right one as i changed cpu type to athlon
shouldn't it be diffrent one than i386?

When you compiled a kernel, with the processor-type set to athlon, you should stil copy the /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/bzImage
This would only change if you would use a processor that is not based on the x86 instruction set. (For instance: an alpha / sparc / PPC)

But, when you recompiled your kernel, you should recompile the nvidia-kernel as well as the nvidia-glx
So, change your /etc/make.profile to set the CCFLAGS etc to support athlon procs, and re-emerge your nvidia-kernel and -glx.
If that does'nt work, I'm shuttin' up :wink:

i settend flags to make.profile before even compiling kernel

i have only -march=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe

shouldn't uname -a give other than i686 if kernel compiled succefully?

i mean make.conf i had those flags

ok now it works with diffrent kernel.
but uname does show i686 should it?

gentoo kernel must be broken or something.
as i tryed acpi too and it work's now

An athlon is stil a x86 compatible processor.
Your kernel has been compiled for this processor, wich means that your kernel can now handle the optimizations for this processor.

uname -a will therefore show a i686 yes.

But, is everything is cool.. goodluck..
