Hello all,

I've been given a Packard-Bell laptop which has a 1.5GHz Mobile Celeron, and 
I'm trying to install Gentoo Linux on it. When choosing an installation 
package to boot and install with, I have to choose from i386, i686, 
Pentium, x86 and a few others. Then, when compiling my kernel I have to 
choose from many more possibilities.

Once, I found a guide to CPU chip numbers and names, but now I can't find it 
again. Can anyone here tell me what model I have? I've tried the i686 
version, but it may be wrong because I'm getting some otherwise 
inexplicable effects, such as not being able to compile Xfce4 because a 
test fails that looks as though it should pass.

Thanks.
