In related news, cebbert wants to do the following to the F-11 kernel:
- Eliminate the current i686 kernel.
- i686 hardware would get i686 PAE by default.
Not all i686 hardware is PAE capable.
- i586 kernel becomes i686, except without cmov. This is primarily so
people don't complain when they realize they have the "i586" kernel.
And this will be installed on anything that's not PAE capable?
Did I get this correct? We will ship "i686 without cmov" and "i686 PAE"?
- i586 -> i686 (without cmov) - i686 -> i686 PAE?
I know, there was some ongoing discussion regarding cmov, sse/sse2. My main point referrs to how "i686 non-PAE capable hardware" will be handled.
