Summary: SSE2 enabled by default on Celeron (P4 based)
    Kernel Version: 2.5.64
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: mbligh@aracnet.com
         Submitter: simon@mtds.com
Distribution: Customised RH 7.1 with many mods
Hardware Environment: Celeron i686 (P4 based)
Software Environment: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)
Problem Description: Kernel compiles OK, but at boot kernel panics as CPU
doesn't support SSE2
Steps to reproduce: Compile kernel choosing *any* Celeron option
/proc/cpuinfo:-
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 11
model name      : Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU                1300MHz
stepping        : 1
cpu MHz         : 1302.763
cache size      : 256 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov
pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
bogomips        : 2580.48
I tried manually editing the SSE2 flags before compiling, didn't work either. If
I am correct, SSE2 is not a feature of Celerons.
