Hi,

I would like to specify CPU_TYPE for 2.4GHz Celeron processor,
in the assembly code.

Which "one" of the following choices should be used ?
  . pentium
  . i586
  . i686
  . pentium4

What is the difference between 'i586' and 'i686' types?

Thanks in advance.

thanks
Dev.

Ps. I had posted this earlier to kernelnewbies list. However, I didnot
get any answers.
