Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org In addition to /proc/cpuinfo, there's a bunch of interesting stuff in /proc/palinfo/*, for instance: [gerrit@elm3a86 palinfo]$ cat /proc/palinfo/version_info PAL_vendor : 0xff (min=0xff) PAL_A revision : 0x9 (min=0x9) PAL_A model : 0x22 (min=0x22) PAL_B mode : 0x9 (min=0x0) PAL_B revision : 0x22 (min=0x0) There is other stuff of interest in /proc/palinfo. Chris pointed out that the minor numbers of the version aren't included here. Also, reading one of the files here caused a panic with the B1 CPU steppings. gerrit > What is a good way to check the processor revision on the lion machines.
