Yep 2.1.119 still fails to detect this cyrix chip properly.
CPU 6x86MX PR 233+
Linux version 2.1.119 (root@tweetie) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #17 Thu Aug 27 22:09: 07 EDT 1998 (notice I compiled with 2.7.2 just in case egcs was yutzing things up)
Console: colour VGA+ 80x25 Calibrating delay loop... 156.88 BogoMIPS Memory: 95228k/98304k available (1020k kernel code, 392k reserved, 1608k data, 5 6k init) Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode... Ok. POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX CPU: Cyrix 6x86MX 2.5x Core/Bus Clock stepping 2.6 Checking 386/387 coupling... OK, FPU using exception 16 error reporting. Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.
Ok the initial check gets it right (somewhat it gets the stepping wrong)
then /proc/cpuinfo has the same incorrect info
[gregm@tweetie gregm]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu family : 4 model : 6x86MX 2.5x Core/Bus Clock vendor_id : CyrixInstead stepping : 2.6 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no sep_bug : no f00f_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : -1 wp : yes flags : bogomips : 156.88
[gregm@tweetie gregm]$ uname -a Linux tweetie 2.1.119 #17 Thu Aug 27 22:09:07 EDT 1998 i486 unknown [gregm@tweetie gregm]$
Any clues?
