Hi All,
I have a HP ProLiant DL380 G4 server with dual Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz procs. I built the box with the SuSE Pro 9.3 CDs and now I am trying to do a kernel compilation. When I do "make cloneconfig" and look at the .config file created, I see that the "Processor family" is showing as Pentium-II/Celeron(pre-Coppermine) instead of Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/Xeon. Why is this?
Because the default kernel used to compile the supplied kernel is the Pentium-II. And any YOU supplied kernels will be the same. If you use a custom kernel you will always need to compile your own kernel.
Just looked at mine ML330 G3 HT Xeon 2.6 GHz and I have the SMP kernel installed and it is using the M586 processor in the kernel build. I would think that the DL380 G4 would also be using the HT processor is it not? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
