When i check the kernel configuration the processor type, for which the kernel is built , is 586. Will recompiling the kernel for the processor present in my machine improve the performace of the kernel?
Perhaps, but you won't necessarily notice.
If yes then what processor type should I choose for my centrino ( is it Pentium M or Pentium-4 M , I don't see centrino in kernel configurations ).
I believe the Centrino is based on PentiumM, which in turn in a modified Pentium III. Check your machine specs.
Centrino is the network component, Pentium is the processor part which I believe is 686. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
