/proc/cpuinfo sent in the first message in this thread (anticipated your request :-)), but it's small enough to repeat: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 5 model : 9 model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D+ Processor stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 451.040 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx syscall 3dnow k6_mtrr bogomips : 902.78 clflush size : 32 Here's the requested dmesg output (for 2.6.21): Initializing CPU#0 CPU: After generic identify, caps: 008021bf 808029bf 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU: L1 I Cache: 32K (32 bytes/line), D cache 32K (32 bytes/line) CPU: L2 Cache: 256K (32 bytes/line) CPU: After all inits, caps: 008021bf 808029bf 00000000 00000002 00000000 00000000 00000000 CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D+ Processor stepping 01 NVRM: CPU does not support the PAT, falling back to MTRRs. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
