The default flags in make.conf have changed to i686 flags, so read the manual and actually change the flags in make.conf to the k5/pentium flags. Of course it is debateable what the default should be. Like Paul said, read the installation docs :P Seems like instead of using a default build target that breaks on lots of hardware and then chiding people who (like most bleeding-edge enthusiasts) build first and read later, someone should add some code to emerge to determine the cpu class and then issue a warning and automatically change the build target when there is a mismatch. My /proc/cpuinfo shows: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 5 model : 8 model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor stepping : 12 cpu MHz : 551.065 cache size : 64 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx syscall 3dnow k6_mtrr bogomips : 1089.53 so there's all sorts of information available there. why ? a warning we create today may be invalid tomorrow ... its just another place to maintain documentation ... |
