Greetings, I'm experimenting with an AMD Athlon X2 CPU: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/processors/athlon-x2/Pages/AMD-athlon-x2-processor-model-numbers-feature-comparison.aspx I just got. This will be the first AMD based kernel I've built. So I find myself with a couple of questions I'm hoping someone here can assist with. As I understand it, this CPU is a K9, does the following line from GENERIC still apply? cpu HAMMER # aka K8, aka Opteron & Athlon64 I noticed the following in NOTES # x86 real mode BIOS emulator, required by atkbdc/dpms/vesa options X86BIOS If I include VESA support in the kernel, will I also need to add the that entry to obtain keyboard && VESA support? Any other AMD specific tweaks I should apply? Any comments/suggestions anyone wouls care to offer, will be grsatly appreciated. Thank you for all your time and consideratiion. --Chris
