/proc/cpuinfo incomplete for AMD 386DX 40?

["John O'Donnell" <johnnyo@mindspring.com>]

Please CC my address as I do not belong to the list.  TIA

I am just curious.

I have a file/web server that I updated with Slackware 8.1.  It runs
virtual web hosts, DynDNS, PPPoE, NFS, NAT and some other minor services.
This is an AMD 386 40Mhz with a 387 co-processor add-on and 32MB RAM.

It is functioning fine but I was poking around /proc/cpuinfo and it
says:

root@juanisan:/proc# cat cpuinfo
processor 
: 0
vendor_id 
: unknown
cpu family	: 3
model 
	: 0
model name	: 386
stepping

: no
hlt_bug 
	: no
f00f_bug

coma_bug 
: no
fpu 
	: yes
fpu_exception 
: no
cpuid level	: -1
wp 
	: no
flags 
	:
bogomips 
: 5.17

Is there any harm in Linux not identifying stuff like the manufacturer.
I dont know if the i386 supports any extensions that would show up in
the flags field.  Think the bogomips is right?!?

Hey it runs GREAT and I love this old box I bought piece by piece when
it was new :-)  Like I said ... I was just curious.

I have not met a box Linux hasn't liked yet :-)
BTW it took half a day to compile 2.4.18 but It chugged away without a hitch!
