Correct processor family for Pentium Dual Core T2390

smmurf · 02-23-2010, 08:26 AM

Compiling a kernel on this machine first time and get upset with which processor family/type/options to select for my Intel Pentim Dual Core T2390.
Does sombody know how to configure kernel better for this processor?

The T2390 is a Merom family CPU, formerly sold as Core 2 Duo processors, so the best option is probably to optimize for the Core 2 series.

Good luck with your new kernel.

Thank you very much, I’ll try this configuration.

post the output of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and it will be easier to tell.

Usually I check the results against:

And thank you for link to the gentoo wiki page, I wonder how didn’t I found it myself…

Yeah, the family 6, model 15 is a Core2 Duo/Quad.

hw-tph was right.
