Re: [Sheflug] Kernel config question

Hi Wonkey

3GHz dual xeon here with Gentoo 2.6.10-r4

The differences between my kernel options and yours are:
- I have Preemptive kernel on
- I have SMT hyperthreading off for some reason. It still shows load across 4 
CPUs, though maybe I should turn this option on.
- Check for P4 thermal throttling input on
- Enable kernel IRQ balancing on.

I'm using gcc 3.3.4

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -mcpu=pentium3 -funroll-loops -pipe -mfpmath=sse 
-fomit-frame-pointer"
(I vaguely remember using pentium3 because forum posts said they worked better 
with p4 xeons, though that was a year ago).

Not using NPTL yet, though will switch to it soon.

Was the machine behaving reliably with windows?

Gary
