Hi: There's an error in one or more linux 2.4 configure script concerning TSC. Full description: By default, the linux kernel is configured for Pentium-III (at least on my system, I don't know if any automagical detection is done). This means CONFIG_X86_TSC is (or will be) set. Changing to 486, then exiting menuconfig does not remove CONFIG_X86_TSC! So after compiling a 486 kernel, then booting it on a 486 constitutes the following panic: "Kernel compiled for Pentium+, requires TSC feature!". This is easily worked around by making menuconfig, exiting, then saving the kernel configuration. After this, CONFIG_X86_TSC is no longer contained in .config . I think there's a flaw in config.in, but I'll leave the pinpointing to the appropriate maintainer. Encountered this problem with 2.4.23 and 2.4.22. Have not tried other versions. Would be nice if corrected, IMHO :) For any responses: please CC me, am not on the lkml.
