Comments on: If I compile a Linux kernel with MPENTIUMII, X86_GENERIC and SMP set, will it run on most PC including AMD K6? http://www.kernelbench.org/smp-kernel/if-i-compile-a-linux-kernel-with-mpentiumii-x86_generic-and-smp-set-will-it-run-on-most-pc-including-amd-k6 Kernel News and How To Thu, 01 Jul 2010 04:00:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: joe.attaboy http://www.kernelbench.org/smp-kernel/if-i-compile-a-linux-kernel-with-mpentiumii-x86_generic-and-smp-set-will-it-run-on-most-pc-including-amd-k6/comment-page-1#comment-2971 joe.attaboy Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:45:59 +0000 http://www.kernelbench.org/smp-kernel/if-i-compile-a-linux-kernel-with-mpentiumii-x86_generic-and-smp-set-will-it-run-on-most-pc-including-amd-k6#comment-2971 Your kernel will most likely work, but I would reconsider. In this case, I wouldn't compile in anything lower than the AMD Athlons. Unless you're absolutely certain this kernel is going to get used on old Pentium-class systems, I wouldn't bother to compile them in. Save the kernel space for something else. If you do, however, it should work fine.<br><b>References : </b><br> Your kernel will most likely work, but I would reconsider.

If you do, however, it should work fine.
