|
Hello all who decide to read this,
I currently bought a laptop MSI-1032 or M645 You chose there the same to me. I was wondering if there is anything special I should do when installing gentoo on to it. I was going to try and make a stage4 build for it but that keep failing every time I decide to emerge either qt or gtk+ I don't know why(building on a amd xp system for a intel pentium m).
I would like some info on how I might be able to either make a stage4 build like i mentioned above or some other info that I might want to know on what I should be trying to set up on it so I don't fry it or anything.
at time of this writing i am trying to setup a wireless nic on my router(gentoo based). so if anything is miss or want more info please leave a msg.
specs of laptop:
120gb hd
intel pentium m 1.6ghz
nvidia geforce go 6600 128mb
15" widescreen lcd
wireless network card rt2500 ralink |

Your Athlon-XP machine is not able to run -march=pentium-m binaries because the Pentium-M supports SSE2 instructions, but the Athlon-XP does not.
Building your stage4 will work if you use -march=pentium3 since these binaries will run on both the host machine and the target machine. |

| Ok that makes sense. So in other words it would have worked if it did have the sse2. |
