kernel won't compile right on my athlon

[Space-Cadet]

Near the end of "make bzImage" I get about 8(could be less, could be more) error lines saying "Warning: indirect lcall without `*'"

Also, when it's compiling I notice it says march=i686 rather than march=athlon like it should (shouldn't it?)

Anyone know how to fix this? I'm using Slackware 8, and have tryed numerous kernel versions... always the same error.

You need to change your cpu type from intel to amd...use either make menuconfig or make xconfig.Hope this helps.

what cpu type does linux prefer?

[PLBlaze]

On kernels 2.4.x by default the kernel is set for P3 cpu's...

how do you compile/recompile the kernel and other stuffs? do you use terminal, then the gcc command?

I DO set it for athlon. Then when I make menuconfig and load my saved file, it still says I have it set for athlon... I don't know what the problem is.

xconfig and config never work for me... only menuconfig :p
