I rewrote and updated the cpu-detection-patch for older cpu´s, so that the
vendor_id should now be recognized and printed as well. Example:
processor : 0
vendor_id : Intel
cpu family : 4
model : 4
model name : 486 SL
stepping : 41
...
Again no special tricks like Keyboard-reset are used, only 3 different int
0x15h-BIOS-calls.
Please download it (only 6KB unzipped) and test it again from:
http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Helge.Deller/files/old_cpu_patch.tgz
It now should apply cleanly to 2.2.10 and 2.3.18(&-ac*)-kernels.
Again: Any chance to get it into 2.3.x ?
NB: In setup.c the stepping of processors is printed at startup in hex and in
the /proc-fs in decimal. Is this wanted (?/!)
Thanks,
Helge Deller.
