Grrr Athlons do have MMX
January 26th, 2004
If you have an Athlon based system with Fedora Core and you are trying to compile/run a custom kernel, it seems that choosing “Athlon” as your cpu is the wrong way to go. Seems like “Athlon” no longer implies MMX. Must be the ‘new’ gcc 3.2 that FC1 uses.
Some random netfilter kernel module and the NVidia binary kernel module are not happy without “_mmx_copy”. Compiled as a P3, and everything is happy now.
