With some of the changes that have gone into the tree over the past week, it is now important that we get CPU detection correct. So I took the tables from the HWDB which are a lot more accurate than the ones which were in the kernel before and built a new kernel using them. I would be very obliged if people would boot the kernel which I've put up at ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/kernels/Image-testcpu and mail me (don't cc the list, please) the line which starts: CPU might be a It's fine on an A180 -- reports `PA7300LC (PCX-L2)'. I want to know what other machines get. Thanks in advance to everyone who tests this because I expect to be overwhelmed by mail from this :-). Once I have a reasonable sample, I'll check the code in. Oh -- just remembered. PA8600 (PCX-W+) processors aren't in this table. people with J5600s will have to wait a few hours. -- Revolutions do not require corporate support.
