<TITLE>How to determine CPU Types for kernel rebuilds</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">When I tried to build a new kernel, the menuconfig screen asked me for my CPU type 586, 686 etc...</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I have a celeron 300A in one machine and a Celeron 800 in the other. Are these 586's or 686's.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I used to think 586 was the designator for a Pentium and 686 for Pentium Pro, but I am not sure.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I did a "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and it just says "Celeron".</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I looked in "dmesg|more" and did not see anything there either, but then I may have missed it.</FONT>
