Subject: Compiling for generic vs other system types
Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2006 19:12:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061007231252.GA30237@animx.eu.org> (raw)
I am not on this list, always keep me in the CC.
I tried searching for this, but couldn't find anything. The config options
seems to indicate that the kernel would be smaller and the system would run
faster if I select the system type that my alpha system is. (In my case,
noritake)
I have a debian 2.6.8-3-generic (apparently a generic system type) kernel
installed as well as a 2.6.18 that I compiled (system type noritake). The
2.6.18 spews some garbage just before I see ISAPNP (I should have disabled
that).
Can any one tell me the real difference between compiling for a generic
system and a specific system (specifically noritake)?
