17 I read that to mean that you selected an old CPU type that doesn't
18 support some options you've selected. 3 questions...
19
20 1) What is your CPU type? If you're not certain, post the output from
21 "head /proc/cpuinfo"
22
23 2) What CPU type have you selected in "make menuconfig"?
24 Processor type and features --->
25 Processor family (?????????????????) --->
26
27 3) Is the answer to 1) the same as the answer to 2) ?
