Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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 : unknown fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no 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! Linux juanisan 2.4.18 #1 Wed Jun 12 19:29:12 EDT 2002 i386 unknown TIA Johnny O -- === Never ask a geek why, just nod your head and slowly back away.=== +==============================+====================================+ | John O'Donnell | | | (Sr. Systems Engineer, | http://johnnyo.home.mindspring.com | | Net Admin, Webmaster, etc.) | E-Mail: johnnyo@mindspring.com | +==============================+====================================+
