Hello All, RHEL9 deprecated version 1 x86_64 cpus. My old testbench HP workstation has such a version 1 cpu. I've tested install of Rocky Linux 9 and CentOS9Stream but no go upon reboot after install -- kernel panic. Is there a way to recompile the kernel to handle the legacy cpu after install -- via some other live cd, perhaps? Due to the fact I can't reboot after install, I'm not able to build a kernel using the following: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel Sidenote: I'd also like to include support for btrfs too, but first things first. Thank you.

Thanks very much for the link and your reply. Yes, glibc and other core parts set with specific cpu flags is precisely what I feared. I suppose it's over to debian or prep the old box for recycling.
