Re: Re: HP RX2620 don't boot wheezy
Hi,
Since you all seem to hit a compiler option issue, rather than
dropping optimizations from -O2 to -O1, what about specifically
targeting Merced or McKinley CPU with -mtune=merced or -mtune=mckinley
gcc option? There are also itanium and itanium1 as accepted keywords,
but I don't know how they differ from merced. On a side note, I don't
know what's the difference between the mckinley and itanium2 keywords
(I'm currently rebuilding my whole Gentoo system using
-mtune=itanium2, since I'm running Madison CPUs on my zx6000).
