PIII recognition in setup.c?

Hi,

Lately I upgrade my Intel PII to a PIII and was surprised to see it was
not properly
recognized at boot time. I expected to see something like:

CPU: Intel PIII ....

But instead it prints:

<snip>
Calibrating delay loop... 448.92 BogoMIPS
Memory: 128080k/131008k available (952k kernel code, 412k reserved,
1524k data, 40k init)
CPU: Intel 00/07 stepping 02
Checking 386/387 coupling... OK, FPU using exception 16 error reporting.

Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.
POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX
mtrr: v1.34 (19990310) Richard Gooch (rgooch@atnf.csiro.au)
<snip>

After looking in setup.c I found out it could never print something with
PIII but shouldn't it at least print something like:

CPU: Intel PII (Des...)..??

Greetings,

Jurgen
