 |
|
Hi,
I'm installing gentoo on my laptop with netinstall CD. I have a little problem with configuring make.conf on stage 1. I have core duo CPU and for example when I compiled kernel I need to mark an option that my CPU is multicored. I can't find anything like that in here is it ok for now or I miss something?
I also have a little proble couse I dont know what '-pipe' option given in example in make.conf.example means.
Thanks. |

Marcinnnn,
It would help a great deal if you would start by telling us which installation document you are following and what install CD you are using. It will also help to know if you are doing a 32bit (x86) or 64bit (amd64) installation.

An Intel core duo CPU is 32bit only, so that means you want the i686 installation CD.
Here is the kernel setting to enable multiple cores.
| Code: | Processor type and features --->
[*] Symmetric multi-processing support
(2) Maximum number of CPUs (2-255)
[*] Multi-core scheduler support (NEW) |
The -pipe option tells the compiler to go from one stage to the next without using temporary files. This does not affect code generation, but it makes compiling faster. The only time you would not want the -pipe option is on a machine with very little RAM. |

1) there is no such a processor as multi-core Pentium-M
2) Intel Core Duo is 32bit Processor while Intel Core2 Duo is 64bit CPU (which can also work in 32bit mode)
3) what installation guide/cd are you following?
4) why are you trying to install from stage1 (it's not officially supported stage any more and for more experienced people)
5) you said you have a problem with make.conf and than later you have a problem with the kernel (normally you set up the kernel _after_ emerge -e system which require you to have properly set up make.conf)
