            Status: NEW

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: CentOS 5
Distribution: CentOS
Hardware Environment: Xeon
Software Environment: CentOS 5
Problem Description:

Hi All,
  Sorry for reporting a CentOS (RHEL) bug here.  I had originally
reported it on CentOS's site, but they did not take responsibility
(said to report it "upstream", which I presume is you guys):
  http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2386

  When compiling a new kernel with "make menuconfig", the processor
section does not adequately state which option is for the Xeon Dual Core
processors. The closest notations are:

Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/Xeon
Pentium-III/Celeron(Coppermine)/Pentium-III Xeon

Being that the Xeon Dual Core is based on the Pentium III, not
the Pentium 4, Pentium III is probably the correct choice, 
BUT WHO CAN TELL!


Steps to reproduce: make menuconfig
