No problem ...

I tried kernel _2.6.15_ too - it´s even more broken:
linux:~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo;./test
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 13
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz

wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tmpbe nx est tm2
bogomips : 8702.35
TSC: 1863.086854 MHz
Isn´t that nice? I´m able to overclock my 1.86 MHz cpu to stable 4.35 MHz
with just a passive heatsink ;-)))
cu,
Knut
