Hi, I was following a post on current when I changed to CPU_TYPE=p4... Also, I know how to get the CPU information from dmesg...The reason that I put p4 was accidental, it was cause I thought I had a PIV and didn't check...set it...basta... I do apologise for this mistake, and hope everyone will forgive me...
