Hello all,
I have a PE 2850 with a optimized gentoo system on it. Here is the
relevant part of make.conf:
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
Is it possible to clone the system to a PE 2950 with as little changes as
possible? I know that I have to recompile the kernel beause of the
changed SCSI Controller (megaraid_sas) and maybe a different driver for
the nic. I am more concerned about the optimized binaries. Will they be
running without problems on the new CPU? I don't even know the codename
for it.
TIA
Timo
