CyrixInstead ?

Hmmm, I've gotten a Cyrix 6x86 (IBM actually) and compiled kernels as
Pentium/6x86 and never got my CPU identified correctly (unknown).

Now I compiled (2.1.112) as 486 and voila,

nicolai@nikita >>>
/etc/X11 : cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
cpu family : 5
model : 6x86 2x Core/Bus Clock
vendor_id : CyrixInstead
stepping : 2.7
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu
bogomips : 133.53

Is this the desired behaviour? If yes, somebody should update the info in
menuconfig and xconfig accordingly since it classes the 6x86 with the
Pentium/K5/5x86 , which appears to be wrong...

Happy Hacking
