Hello.
I've a problem here with 2.6.31. kernel is
compiled for PIII:
CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII=y
CONFIG_X86_GENERIC=y
This kernel works on real PIII machine - like this:
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping : 10
cpu MHz : 997.580
But it fails on a Celeron:
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : Celeron (Coppermine)
stepping : 6
cpu MHz : 797.481
it fails on early boot, after a bootloader printed
"Loading kernel... initrd..." -- after that, on the
Celeron machine, it reboots instantly.
It's the same kernel binary, I tried it on several
machines, and the result is pretty consistent - if
it's a PIII-Celeron it reboots, if it's a PIII -
kernel boots and works ok.
All previous kernels with the same config worked on
these machines, at least as far as this issue is
concerned.
Is it a known issue? Is there anything else I can
try to debug it?
Thanks!
