I too have incorrect CPU/cache detection using 2.4.20-pre7-ac3. I seem to
recall it working correctly on 2.4.19-ac1 (this was the version in which the
ac did not get added by the patch). Anyway I have a tualatin PIII with a 512K
L2 cache. I inserted the printk in setup.c that Alan asked for earlier in
the thread and got three outputs (it's a two processor machine). I have
edited everything but the printk output and the CPU:... lines. Things are
working fine with the kernel command line cachesize=512.
