Subject: [PATCH] x86/Kconfig: Transmeta Crusoe is cpu family 5, not 6
Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2024 14:16:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240107140609.2c1709e3@mocarz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1517697968-19014-3-git-send-email-tedheadster@gmail.com>

I found out I am no longer able to boot kernel compiled with CONFIG_MCRUSOE=y on
my HP t5300 with CPU: Transmeta(tm) Crusoe(tm) Processor TM5500 (family: 0x5,
model: 0x4, stepping: 0x3). It says:

> This kernel requires an i686 CPU, but only detected an i586 CPU.
> Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.    

It looks like this is caused by 25d76ac888216c369dea91768764728b83769799 which
started setting X86_MINIMUM_CPU_FAMILY=6 for MCRUSOE while CPUID gives family=5.

I was able to fix the problem with a patch included below. It just changes
X86_MINIMUM_CPU_FAMILY to 5. No other change was necessary (using -march=i686
seems fine).
