I am using gcc 2.8.1 - and I can get the kernel running if I optimize it for a Pentium (However, response time seems to be down ???) If I compile it for a PPRO/K6/ the kernel will not boot. Here are the [faulty?] compiler options: -O2 -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -mcpu=pentiumpro
Is it possible that the arch=pentiumpro is causing difficulty, because the arch is actually a pentium on that system? In any event..I am running... thus, I am happy.

Thanks,
