Recompile FreeBSD with specific cpu settings -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see informations about CPU dmesg | head -15 Edit /etc/make.conf and add: CPUTYPE?= P4 # CPUTYPE?= k8 # for athlon64, i386 # CPYTYPE?= athlon64 # for athlon64, amd64 Go to dir where you have config file for your kernel and edit it cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC SERVER edit SERVER My Kernel Config file look like this: # --------------SERVER config file ------------------------------ machine i386 cpu I586_CPU cpu I686_CPU ident ROUTER options SMP options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET # InterNETworking #options INET6 # IPv6 communications protocols options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device #options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client #options NFSSERVER # Network Filesystem Server #options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCLIENT #options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS # Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. # [............... other drivers from GENERIC .............] #Firewall and NAT options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 options DUMMYNET options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD options HZ=1000 options DEVICE_POLLING options IPSTEALTH options ALTQ options ALTQ_CBQ options ALTQ_RED options ALTQ_RIO options ALTQ_HFSC options ALTQ_PRIQ # support for pf firewall device mem device pf device pflog device pfsync options SHMSEG=16 options SHMMNI=32 options SHMMAX=2097152 options SHMALL=4096 options MAXFILES=8192 # ---------------- END SERVER kernel config file ------------------------ Rebuild your FreeBSD kernel and world: cd / mergemaster -pai cd /usr/src make -j2 buildworld make -j2 buildkernel KERNCONF=SERVER make installkernel KERNCONF=SERVER cd / mergemaster -ai After that do a reboot, then install world: cd /usr/src make installworld |
