: There are no 801586 CPUs. It looks like something's trying to cover all bases : - ie, 80186 - 80586, and failing miserably at it.
Pentium IVs report themselves as 801586s - see the Linux 2.2.18 announcement at <http://lkml.org/lkml/2000/12/11/178>: > The major thrust has been support for processors running in > excess of 2GHz, support for the CyrixIII processor and also > basic support for the Pentium IV.

My recollection, possibly faulty, is that Intel chose 801586 because Windows NT refused to boot on an 80886 (it only checked the bottom 3 bits of the family number and thought it was on an 8086). -- John Elliott ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
