Hi Linus,
Could you put more information about pentium on /proc files. At the moment all pentiums are treated as Pentium 75+. Could you differentiate them, such as Pentium 75, Pentium 100, Pentium 133 etc.
I have looked at files, /linux/arch/i386/kernel/setup.c and head.S.
I have tried to modify a little bit by putting Pentium 133+ in setup.c :
static const char * i586model(unsigned int nr) { static const char *model[] = { "0", "Pentium 60/66","Pentium 75+","Pentium 133+","OverDrive PODP5V83" }; if (nr < sizeof(model)/sizeof(char *)) return model[nr]; return NULL; }
This one does not work, because I notice that the value of nr comes from head.S. Has someone else tried this? Could you share your patch with me?
Thanks
Chai
