Hello Community,
I need your help. I have one of those new shining AMD Fusion E350 APU systems. I can't find any information about cflags. I installed with "CHOST=x86_64..." and CFLAGS="-mtune=generic -O2 -pipe"
I wonder if there are better or more correct cflags for that system especially since I have some strange problems (see https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6621789.html#6621789).

You cannot go wrong with CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe", if you think it is suboptimal for your CPU I'd recommend digging in gcc.gnu.org and maybe AMD developers site.

I think this will break the system because -march=native activates 3dnow flag which is not implemented in Fusion E350 anymore

?

should be different for every system

have you double checked with:

Code:

gcc -Q -march=native --help=target


?

regarding this https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-867539-highlight-amd+fusion.html thread it will enable 3dnow.

I will check as soon as I am in front of the machine.

Hm this is the output:

I will try and report back since it seems that 3dnow is disabled.
Thanks for your tip.

UPDATE: System still seems to work after
Code:

although my problems regarding mysql still persist

Since I can't get mysql to work I started a new clean install with the cflags from this thread. This problem can be considered solved. Maybe this tips should either be put into the handbook or at least the wiki on the cflags page.

Thanks to all

PostPosted: Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:30 pm    Post subject: Problems installing Gentoo on AMD fusion E-350 Reply with quote

Hello all,
I grabbed one of those new shiny AMD E-350 systems and try to install a small home server system on it. Unfortunately I can't get it to work properly:

I tried two installs now:

(a) CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe"
(b) CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"

In case (a) mysql_install_db dies because mysqld gets segfault. In case (b) mysql_install_db failes because it tries to create file "/tmp/" which obviously is already there as a directory.

I tried different mysql-versions and also mariadb.

Another strange thing is, that some boot messages start with strange characters (inverted question marks mostly) while others don't.

I use "~amd64" architecture.

Anybody any advice ?

also, you have to disable 3dnow on amd fusion. use the cflag -mno-3dnow and instead of -march=native, find out which cflags it enables by doing a "cc -march=native -E -v - </dev/null 2>&1 | grep cc1" and then use all the cflags except -m3dnow.

No doesn't work.

System booting fine but mysql still failes:
Code:
cat /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err

Yeah I found this information too, but unfortunately this is a different problem. The article is about mysql trying to create a file and getting errno13 (basically means access denied).
If you want to have a closer look at my error message above you will notice that:
Code:
ERROR: 1004  Can't create file '/tmp/' (errno: 21)

mysql tries in my case to create a file named '/tmp/' which is the directory itself instead of a temporary file inside it and gets errno:21 (cannot open the dir for writing to it since it's a dir not a file)

But thank you for sharing.

Any other ideas ?

Maybe there's something wrong with random name creation ?
Anybody any idea where to look for such errors ?

Does anybody know if GCC-4.6 is available in any overlay ?
It seems to support the new AMDs natively.

you can compile gcc-4.6 from source and then just change the prefix so that it doesn't overwrite the older gcc. suppose that it is installed in /usr/local/bin/gcc, then you just have to change the compiler by changing the entry OCC and OCXX in /etc/portage/bashrc to /usr/local/bin/gcc and /usr/local/bin/g++. that's pretty much an overlay.

Just to confirm drizzt's observations:
Code:
ERROR: 1004  Can't create file '/tmp/' (errno: 21)

on E-350 Processor AuthenticAMD (Asus E35M1-M Pro):
Code:
# gcc -Q -march=native --help=target |grep m3d
  -m3dnow                               [disabled]
  -m3dnowa                              [disabled]

Tried two 5.x mysql versions, with correct perms on /tmp.
Tested mkstemp() and tempnam() functions used inside mysql's create_temp_file() - both work well.

The -O2 flag may cause this, please see:
