I recently picked up a 1GHz Via C3 Ezra, and have been using it successfully with 4.8. However, I had some troubles building world and kernel... The CPU reports itself as a 686-class CPU. So I set my make.conf variables appropriately (CPUTYPE=i686), and my kernel configuration file appropriately (machine i386, cpu I686_CPU), but I kept on getting Signal 4's whenever doing a buildworld (in cc_tools) and buildkernel (on the first config line). So I dropped back down to 586, buildworld, buildkernel, reboot, and the kernel started complaining that this processor class wasn't configured. I rebuilt the kernel using I586_CPU /and/ I686_CPU, and can run just fine. Does anyone know any problems with the C3 and its CPU class? Know why it reports itself as a 686, but setting the 686 flag in make.conf causes a Signal 4 on certain actions? Or is the CPUTYPE=i686 reserved only for Pentium Pro CPUs?
