| |
I'm working on the ghost for linux project, which uses various kernels. The older version 0.14 version had two kernels that support some configurations. I've added a number of additional builds adding extra features, but left earlier version in case the later additions didn't work with hardware. The bzImage6 is the latest and it works with most hardware, but I found it didn't work on a K6, since it was build with the Pentium Pro Family. I was able to build one with the K6 family, and it worked. I had used one of the original kernels with a K6 before, but this one had a network card that wasn't supported by it.
I've built a test set of kernels with the same configuration as the bzImage6, but changed the Processor family. Below is a list of the build. I'm interested in which ones would make a difference. I would think that the 386 version would probable work on all hardware, but at what cost in performance for creating and restoring the disk images. G4L uses basically dd, gzip, lzop, bzop, ncftpget, and ncftpput. With all these images, the g4l iso image is 50MB.
