I am having trouble installing from the pentium3-1.4-rc2 livecd. The first error I got was from texinfo compile itself. At the end it attempted a
Code:
../makeinfo/makeinfo -I . texinfo.txi
This failed with an "Illegal instruction". I managed to get past it on the 3rd attempt by blanking textinfo.txi on another console. It went ok for a while, but then another similar failure installing binutils:
Code:
...
rm -f asconfig.texi
ln -s ./all.texi ./asconfig.texi >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || ln ./all.texi ./asconfig.texi >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || cp ./all.texi ./asconfig.texi
rm -f gasver.texi
echo '@set VERSION 2.13.90.0.16' > gasver.texi
makeinfo -I . as.texinfo
make[2]: *** [as.info] Illegal instruction
make[2]: *** Deleting file 'as.info'
make[2]: *** Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/binutils-2.13.90.0.16-r1/work/binutils-2.13.90.0.16/gas/doc'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/binutils-2.13.90.0.16-r1/work/binutils-2.13.90.0.16/gas'
make: *** [install-gas] Error 2


Can I just turn off texinfo? It doesn't seem to be working. I don't seen anybody else having this problem?

Suggestions?

Thx... Dire

Ok, oddly enough, it didn't like doing the compile with CFLAGS set to "march=pentium3".

This is a celeron (Mendicino) chip, which AFAIK is instruction-set and register compatible with the pentium3, but changing it to i686 worked, but pentium3 consistently failed. I'm now running stage 2, and everything is compling fine.

Searching the forums, I came across this thread. Can someone please clarify what cflags march=???? and kernel cpu options I should be using. I'm currently using i686, but I was hoping there was something more optimal.
