It doesn't. It purposedly seds all newer AMD and Intel CPUs into k8 and core2 respectively. As I said before, it's non-sensical to create so many different packages for every single CPU out there. Furthermore, your submitted PKGBUILD besides being from an earlier (pre 3.6.8-pf) version, doesn't deal with a very important aspect: the conflicts() array, which is already a mess. Thanks for your interest and your work, but I won't implement it. Besides, if you really want the ultimately optimized kernel, I have provided the proper key in the PKGBUILD many months ago: uncomment the 'export KCFLAGS="-march=native -Ofast"' line just before the final make. Then see http://termite.apcdn.com/full/84760.jpg for a definitive explanation of my rationale.

your package detects false package names for the processor that were added with the 'http://www.linuxforge.net/linux/kernel/kernel-33-gcc47-0.patch' patch. So I updated my modifed PKGBUILD according to your latest changes: http://pastebin.com/fYSd7hgT

@nous: thanks that you've inclued the patch to set the right -march -mtune for past intel core2 processors!

@travnick: I downloaded virtualbox-modules-bfs (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=62966), ran 'sed -i s/bfs/pf/g PKGBUILD', renamed virtualbox-modules-bfs.install into virtualbox-modules-pf.install and I got a perfect virtualbox-modules-pf package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=64162). But I won't maintain it as I don't use virtualbox. I will compile it though and put it in [pfkernel] if someone keeps it up-to-date. @Thaodan: That's a negative. Virtualbox might be picky, but nvidia-pf (which I use) works without recompiling throughout patchlevels. I really can't see _one_ reason for a user to know the exact patchlevel of a running kernel, other than bug reporting, in which case it's easily obtainable by other means.

@Martdadinata666: as for me just cause uname shoud report the right kernel release.

As I wrote: When kernel updates, old modules (eg virtualbox) still are there and make conflicts, they are not loadable "ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetflt': Exec format error ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetadp': Exec format error" But you cannot simply create new ones with dkms (virtualbox-hook), because the old one exist in kernel modules folder ... "Module vboxhost/4.2.2 already installed on kernel 3.6-pf/x86_64" So you must uninstall (remove vbox modules) and do dkms remove to remove old builds from dkms. But maybe there is need to create vbox package dedicated to linux-pf

martadinata666 commented on 2012-10-30 14:15 (UTC)

hmm, why you need to name this versionas 3.6.4? as long as im using this kernel, if you have modules like vbox, you just need to rebuild this modules if this kernel update to major version 3.5 to 3.6 or when virtualbox upgrade...

Thaodan commented on 2012-10-30 13:01 (UTC)

Ah ok thanks. A suggestion please rename the kernel release (the from uname) to the release number of the based kernel release, actual: 3.6.4.

The pf-kernel patchset does not closely follow the kernel.org, as it increments with updates from various patches, but usually includes the latest stable linux kernel. 3.6.6-pf apparently includes 3.6.4 from kernel.org. See http://freecode.com/projects/pf-kernel.
