View Full Version : [all variants] Compile on X64_64 for Atom D510?

I have a new PC with an Intel Atom D510 and would like to recompile the kernel with the options for the Atom CPU, but as you can imagine, compiling the kernel on the Atom is extremely slow.

How do I compile the kernel on my faster X86_64 (AMD 965X) system for the Atom D510 system? I read some documentation on doing a cross compile and another on changing the architecture and subarctitecture... but got a bit confused.

Thanks,

I'm still not sure how to accomplish this, but I did find a workaround. I installed distcc on two other Linux PC's in my house and now have them doing the bulk of the compiling.
