Unknown CPU

Unknown CPU

[David Ford]

I've an unknown cpu (athlon xp) in my machine.  What data do I need to 
collect so the kernel knows what it is?

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0

Hi,
You have the same CPU like me.
I have the EPox mobo and I had this issue.
If your bios ver is not 10/17/2003 then update it from the net.

That string gets read from the CPU directly, after the BIOS programs it.
Try and get an updated BIOS.

It's clearly a barton, what kernel are you running?

I know on my ASUS A7N8X, the CPU type when the CPU is detected is shown
as Unknown unless the correct clock rates etc are used. As soon as they
are set correctly.. it says Athlon 2600+. Before I got them correct, it
had some unknown string (sorry Icant tell you what it was...) and I dont
know what Linux reported then because I at that time all was new in this
PC and hard drive was blank.

Are you over or underclocking?

Re: Unknown CPU

Nope, the CPU is clocked per spec.  I have an issue with this 
motherboard since I got it, half the time when I reboot it blurps and 
simply won't boot with a high-low warble.  I have to turn the machine 
off for about 30 minutes or drain the cmos and reset everything.

I'm actually running the RAM a little slow.

What BIOS version are you running?
On my ASUS A7N8X it would list unknown at boot up for an Athlon 2500+ until I got the lastest BIOS version.

I had this no-boot problem with one of the Epox mb's (nForce2). It just
hanged at POST and booted only after many tries. The solution was to
disable showing Health Information (those fan RPMs and temperatures) at
BIOS POST.

Strange, but works this way.

Maybe helps somebody.

I'm getting messages like this at boot time:
[   17.931769] p4-clockmod: Unknown CPU. Please send an e-mail to
<cpufreq@vger.kernel.org>


What information would you like?

Thanks,
Matt
