Re: Which processor type should I choose during kernel compilation?

When you are configuring the kernel with xconfig ensure that "Enable Microcode" is not enabled.  That should solve that error.


Good Luck,

You selected the correct processor option.

Post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf file. And a listing of
your /boot and /lib/modules directories.

Boot the system with the Fedora kernel. As root, run

chkconfig microcode_ctl off

This should fix the microcode message (which isn't your problem).

John
