Date: Fri, 28 Nov 1997 09:16:29 +0100 X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk hi, iīm running freebsd 2.2.2 on a cyrix 6x86 p166+ which i thought should be a pentium compatible processor. but after recompiling the kernel with cpu=586 it didnīt boot and told me instead that i donīt have a 586 type cpu. using now cpu=486 works just fine, but does anybody know why cpu=586 didnīt work? i couldnīt find anything in the faq. thanks, roland
