yeah i was really good at getting a tight fast kernel in 2.4. and i was hesitant to try the the 2.6 series. ok so i decided to grow a pair and then install 12.2 on my smp box. this has been nothing but a nightmare all week long i keep getting and error that says i should have pciked 686 instead of k7(i have a pair of athlon mp 1800?)and it wont let me redo the kernel or recompile i am ending up witht the same result each time anyone got any ideas or a way to get my kernel back to functional again. i am out of my head man.

also anyone that can provide a real compile guide for kernel 2.6. would be awesome it seems as though all the ones i find are disappearing, and they lead me up to what is happening now please get back to me

slack*****user

also i have absolutely no funtionality either cant get any modules to load, no sound nothing its crap if you need anymore information jsut ask

slack*****user

ok i got it somewhat back to normal again i still dont know how to compile a 2.6 kernel correctly

so could someone give me a rundown that is really like basic like this then you so this than you do this i cant seem to find anyone that syncs witha nother one around here

help me please

Can you post the output of

just to make sure you're compiling for the right processor.

slack*****user

i know i am compiling for the right processor, but so no one questions me, i bought these processors PIB brand new, a few years back so i dont know. im sure it is something stupid that is tripping me up but here ya go, and yes i have compiled an smp kernel before it took me wo tries but i got it i am at try number umpteen with this, so help me out

What processor options does it give you when you compile the kernel ? You should probably choose Athlon XP.

What kernel version are you trying to compile ? And this is on slackware 12.2, right ?

slack*****user

yes it is for 12.2, just the stock torrent version. i was also having other problems as well(which was cleared up when i changed a cable, how flippin simple) everytime i recompile it was just getting worse, so do i have to make dep between the make config and make bzImage? ok just wondering about that. i have compiled on slack 12 and 12.1 and had no problems, none at all. i was letting it ride on compiling a kernel until i had some time to set up my crap in a normal enviroment like ya know having my own desk and monitor but i said what the hell and this started happening. ehh

slack*****user

alright i have two(2) amd athlon MP palomino 1800+, a tyan tiger mpx(yest it is an mpx motherboard with the 4MB rom and working onboard usb)

well i did some digging, and found that when i boot the kernel and install slackware(12.2)smp goes thru just fine, my memory is all seen, but when i read my config : which is what i get when i do this

#zcat /proc/config.gz > currentconfig(i am doing this so i ahve it to look at in the root directory)

i get something very interesting it says that it is using i686 for processor specification

now when i do the recompile it gave me an error in regards to how i am supposed to use i686

fine whatever i have been searching this whole site and googling and come up null, also i am not trying to get more than four gigs of ram either...

any help ? is it impossible to compile athlon for smp? just checking
