|
| 11 |
don't use the same cooler, cause it can break the cpu.... buy a x2 |
| 12 |
cool&quiet cooler and update the bios.... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
-- should I change a lot of attributes in my kernel .config file? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
the configuration under processor types and features should be: |
| 18 |
Processor family (AMD-Opteron/Athlon64) ---> |
| 19 |
< > /dev/cpu/microcode - Intel CPU microcode support |
| 20 |
<*> /dev/cpu/*/msr - Model-specific register support |
| 21 |
<*> /dev/cpu/*/cpuid - CPU information support |
| 22 |
[*] Symmetric multi-processing support |
| 23 |
[ ] SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support (NEW) |
| 24 |
[*] Multi-core scheduler support |
| 25 |
(NEW) |
| 26 |
Preemption Model (Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)) ---> |
| 27 |
[*] Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Support |
| 28 |
[*] Old style AMD Opteron NUMA detection (NEW) -> this one could be |
| 29 |
needed for old 939 sockets but i don't know if the x2 works in that socket |
| 30 |
[*] ACPI NUMA detection (NEW) |
| 31 |
[*] NUMA emulation |
| 32 |
Memory model (Discontiguous Memory) ---> |
| 33 |
[*] Provide RTC interrupt |
| 34 |
(2) Maximum number of CPUs (2-256) (NEW) |
| 35 |
[*] Intel MCE features |
| 36 |
[*] AMD MCE features |
| 37 |
Timer frequency (100 HZ) ---> |
| 38 |
[*] Function reordering |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
then enable all the cpu scaling governors under power management option, amd |
| 41 |
powernow directly in the kernel (not as module, cause the udev would not |
| 42 |
load it at boot time) and add cpufrequtils as a boot service with the |
| 43 |
conservative module.... |
| 44 |
obvioulsy you'll need thermal, fan, processor and ac adapter.... i compiled |
| 45 |
this in the kernel support so that i wouldn't need an initramdisk.... but |
| 46 |
this is your choice on how to compile them.... |
| 47 |
after that you should look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/ on howtos for the use |
| 48 |
flags, cause you could have some new use flags to use.... |
| 49 |
