This one didn't work for me. It thinks I have a Cx486SLC when I don't. I have AMD486. The boot messages looks like this:
Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode... Ok. Unknown interrupt Unknown interrupt CPU: Cyrix Cx486SLC Checking 386/387 coupling... OK, FPU using exception 16 error reporting. Checking 'hlt' instruction... [then it hangs]
I've never seen this before. With 2.1.108 I don't get "Unknown interrupt"s, and CPU is identified as 486 -- Robert
