Hi,
I have a Debian based system with a custom 2.4.7 kernel compiled with gcc version 2.95.4 20010703 (Debian prerelease) (also saw the same with 2.2.10+ gcc 2.95)
The CPU in the machine is a AMD K6 200MHz, and has 64MB of SDRAM
I reomved the heatsink and the serial is Cxxxxxxxx, however in the kernel boot messages I get the following,
Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: CPU: Before vendor init, caps: 008001bf 008005bf 00000000, vendor = 2 Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: AMD K6 stepping B detected - <6>K6 BUG 9016725 20000000 (Report these if test report is incorrect) Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: AMD K6 stepping B detected - probably OK (after B9730xxxx). Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: Please see http://www.mygale.com/~poulot/k6bug.html Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: CPU: L1 I Cache: 32K (32 bytes/line), D cache 32K (32 bytes/line) Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: CPU: After vendor init, caps: 008001bf 008005bf 00000000 00000000 Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: CPU: After generic, caps: 008001bf 008005bf 00000000 00000000 Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: CPU: Common caps: 008001bf 008005bf 00000000 00000000 Aug 17 09:06:49 phoenix kernel: CPU: AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions stepping 01
Is the stepping not the first part of the serial? I have 64MB (the amount that triggers the bug IIRC) in the system and the the kernel and everything else compiles without generating a SIG11.
Is this a false detection or would it be possible that I have a wrongly tagged CPU?
Also the link http://www.mygale.com/~poulot/k6bug.html does not exist.
Please CC replies to me as I am not on the list.
