Question

I am trying to build custom kernel (version 3.12.13) for my old laptop and I am unable to determine the Processor Family from the provided list.

( ) 486   
( ) 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX 
( ) Pentium-Classic   
( ) Pentium-MMX 
( ) Pentium-Pro 
( ) Pentium-II/Celeron(pre-Coppermine)  
( ) Pentium-III/Celeron(Coppermine)/Pentium-III Xeon
( ) Pentium M   
( ) Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/older Xeon  
( ) K6/K6-II/K6-III   
( ) Athlon/Duron/K7   
( ) Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8  
( ) Crusoe
( ) Efficeon
( ) Winchip-C6  
( ) Winchip-2/Winchip-2A/Winchip-3  
( ) AMD Elan
( ) GeodeGX1   
( ) GeodeGX1
( ) Geode GX/LX 
( ) CyrixIII/VIA-C3   
( ) VIA C3-2 (Nehemiah)   
( ) VIA C7
( ) Core 2/newer Xeon
( ) Intel Atom 

According to this guide, 420 Celeron-M processors are Core Solo based, but I do not know which processor family should I select from above list. My cpuinfo:

Would someone provide a pointer?

Answer 1

I suggest that you choose Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/older Xeon. In the link you provided, it is mentioned that '-march=prescott' option should be used. And Prescott is Pentium 4, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_4_microprocessors.

Answer 2

You should use Core 2/Newer Xeon option. Your CPU is from Intel Core family.

Answer 3

no. looks to me like pentium M series.
