I installed this NexGen-90 into my Linux box, and I couldn't be happier. it was a 486dx2-66, and now this thing just flies. Kernel compile time is cut in HALF, everything is just faster. But, I do have one problem, and maybe you kernel guys can help with a patch.
here is my /proc/cpuinfo:
processor : 0 cpu : 386 model : unknown vendor_id : unknown stepping : unknown fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no fpu : no fpu_exception : no cpuid : no wp : no flags : bogomips : 67.17
Linux only detects this CPU as a 386. I wish it would detect it for what it is, so maybe someone out there has a patch they use for their nexgen. I want it really bad. I hate compiling this thing for 386. <i don't know why, it just bothers me :>. Thank you all :>
