Description of problem:
Not really a bug, more of a question/enhancement. I upgraded to the latest
kernel release,  2.4.21-3.EL and went to build my own kernel from the src rpm on
my dual-proc itanium2 hp zx1 based zx6000.

I noticed that the default setting for .config is CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC my system
uses the hp zx1 chipset and i was wondering if rebuilding with
CONFIG_IA64_HP_ZX1=y will make any difference, or if the generic flag inculdes
zx1 support?

basically, what would the advantages be to building with the zx1 flag? I noticed
extra zx1 data in dmesg when i did this.

Also, are there any other flags that can improve performance on my system?

thanks in advance,
jah

There aren't any advantages to building with
CONFIG_IA64_HP_ZX1=y...I'm closing this bug as resolved.
