(Why it chose pIII_sse even when p5_mmx > was faster is also an interesting question... :) I have seen the same on a precompiled slackware 8.1 raid.s kernel I tried for my promise controller. It's an AMD AthlonXP 2000+. Like you I found that the PIII_SSE was slower than the P5_MMX and still got selected. I got higher numers than you though, around your old mobo's speeds.... (KT333 chipset). (MSI KT3 Ultra2-R). specs are in the KT333, IO-APIC, Promise Fasttak, Initrd topic. the 5 disks spanning ram image doesn't even load properly with me, maybe it's caused by memory problems as well? Tho' I thought north bridges are for memory access whilst I only get a message that my southbridge isn't recognized... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
