 Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2009 4:58 pm Post subject: Configuration for Core 2 Duo |
 |
|
Hi
I didn't find any thread which explain clearly how to configure gentoo on a core 2 duo desktop (kernel and gcc)
I want to regroup in this thread any information on how to configure it
I'm on a 2008.0 gentoo with an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 in 32 bits with GCC 4.3.2 (actual stable) with 2.6.24-gentoo-r7 kernel
I've found how to configure the make.conf file:
| Code: | CFLAGS=""march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
MAKEOPTS="-j3" |
But I didn't find anywhere how to configure the kernel.
I've set Core 2/newer Xeon for the Processor family, but I don't know what I should set (or unset) to optimize the kernel for core 2 duo processors.
Any suggestion? I will edit this post to regroup all information which will help to configure gentoo on an Intel Core 2 Duo |

There are some universal guides: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-optimization.xml

Do not ever tamper with kernel CFLAGS, kernel is very special. Just use Core2 optimization option, use SMP and HyperThreading.

you might want to check the config that puppy posted for me here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-790895-highlight-.html I have a similar cpu, notice that the config is for tuxonice-sources
