hello.

i am in the process of recompiling the kernel for Suse 10.1 and this laptop has a CELERON-M processor

in the kernel options which processor type is a best match for a CELERON-M 1.5Ghz?

which of these should I pick?

( ) Pentium M
( ) Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/Xeon

this is what dmesg shows:

CPU0: Intel® Celeron® M processor 1.50GHz stepping 08

Thanks.

I've read a couple of people in the Gentoo forums having good luck compiling with the Pentium M option. If you *really* think about it, Celeron Ms are not that much different from the Pentium Ms. The L2 and, I believe, the speedstepping is different. Other than that, I know not of any other differences. As always, YMMV.
