 |
|
I am installing gentoo for a friend. I tried to put ubuntu on this thing but It's having other issues, so I eventually came to gentoo... It's a K6 processor but I'm not sure which one. | Code: | processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 5
model : 8
model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor
stepping : 12
cpu MHz : 500.140
cache size : 64 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx syscall 3dnow k6_mtrr
bogomips : 1002.61
|
I want to make sure I have the -mtune set right in make.conf (note: Safe Cflags in the gentoo wiki says not to use -march do to this bug)

| If you investigated the bug, you will see that it was due to the user setting the wrong -march for their system. I have -march=k6-2 on two different systems and have not had any problems with it. |

read the bug farther.... after posting this.... was the one guy right about determining how to tell whether it's a K6, K6-2, or k6-3, I'm installing gentoo on a computer I'm not familliar with. I've set mtune to k-6 for the time being but I honestly have no Idea how to tell if this is a k6, k6-2 or whatever. The person I'm installing it for want's to learn linux and this is her computer, she doesn't know computers at all, I think she guessed that this was a celeron when I asked... but cpuinfo says it's obviously a k6 model.

| You do have a k6-2. I just checked on my k6-2 and the details where the same (except for clockspeed, mine is 533MHz). |
