Subject: Cyrix 6x86L does not get identified by Linux 2.6
Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2005 00:36:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200506010036.27957.gjasny@web.de> (raw)
Hi,
on my Cyrix 6x86L (notice the L) I've got the problem that it doesn't get
identified as a Cyrix processor. Instead it is treated as a common 486.
I think the problem is that the cpuid feature is not enabled after booting. So
init_cyrix which enables the cpuid feature is never called.
As a bad hack I've set the this_cpu pointer to cyrix in
common.c:identify_cpu():
this_cpu = cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_CYRIX];
Who is responsible for x86 CPU detection?
Cheers,
Gregor
