Hi,
Compiling 2.3.40 with PPro/6x86MX (CONFIG_M686) gives a kernel that panics on a Cyrix PR166MMX with the message "Kernel compiled for PPro+, requires PGE feature!" (from include/asm-i386/bugs.h).
This check was introduced in the 2.3.40 patch bundle and it looks like my 686MX doesn't claim to have PGE :-
duncodin:/proc # cat cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CyrixInstead cpu family : 6 model : 1 model name : 6x86MX 2x Core/Bus Clock stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 133.122021 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no sep_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : yes fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr cmov mmx bogomips : 132.71
Does this mean we need another cpu choice or can we define CONFIG_X86_PGE=n?
Cheers,
Mike
