I am using gcc 2.8.1 - and I can get the kernel running if I optimize it
for a Pentium (However, response time seems to be down ???) If I
compile it for a PPRO/K6/ the kernel will not boot. Here are the
[faulty?] compiler options:
-O2 -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -mcpu=pentiumpro
Is it possible that the arch=pentiumpro is causing difficulty, because
the arch is actually a pentium on that system? In any event..I am
running... thus, I am happy.
