Also, I believe one is 32bit and the other is 64bit, but a 32 bit kernel will work on both. I think Core 2 is more like "almost new" arch....I bet it tends to be closer to newer Xeon (according to related Kbuild message) > If you want to guarantee it works on both I would compile for 32bit i386, but feel free to have some fun. If you do compile with p4 post if it worked on the core2, I am sort of interested now. > I suggest to start with i686 first, then work gradually up -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
