|
|
why am i able to boot 3.8.10-gentoo livecd kernel but not able to boot from gentoo sources3.10.x kernels. Reason would be like my processor does not have cx8 or cmov, which these new kernels requires.
So how is it possible to even boot from livecd, with newer than 2.6.32, since that kernel its been required from cpu.
u follow. Is it the kernel issue or is it make.conf or boot option problem?
just want to install gentoo, but im unable to compile appropriate kernel to boot. ACtually tried a 2.6.31 kernel what says that cmov is required, install appropriate kernel.
what do i need to do now? what kernel is appropriate one for my motherboard or cpu actually.
Epia howtos are dead from the web, at least the kernel confs that i "found"

well its not quite true. Or i should ask where do i possibly go wrong, i dl the i486 tarball and mu chost is set to i486 and cflags i586
no kernel is good for my system nor with genkernel or manual configs
Via Epia M9000 C3 Ezra if i didnt already reveal that yet.
i tried to fdisk dev/sda
dump and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 |
