I have an old canon innova notebook 360CD this is what dmesg reports about the CPU Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: AMD Am5x86 Write-Back (486-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x4f4 Stepping = 4 Features=0x1<FPU> the processor is an 5x86 AMD P75 working at 133mhz with a 486 BIOS from Phoenix. the P75 is what the bios reports during boot time. my problem is FreeBSD sees this as a 486 CPU. basied on the documentation I've been able to find on this old laptop it is in fact a Pentium class (albeit slow) processor and I think the 486 BIOS is confusing FreeBSD. I've tried specifying in my kernel cpu I586_CPU but I get a panic when it boots and it says "unknown class" for the cpu. anyone know of any way around this? or do I have to leave it at 486 when this isn't what the machine is. as far as I can tell its just an over clocked Pentium class AMD chip. below is my working kernel config with zero errors. please make sure to include me in the CC: as I am no longer subscribed to this list due to the amount of volume it generated =) thanks in advance. machine i386 cpu I486_CPU maxusers 32 ident Skye options INET options FFS options FFS_ROOT options SOFTUPDATES options NFS options NFS_ROOT options CD9660 options CD9660_ROOT options PROCFS options MAXMEM="(32*1024)" options COMPAT_43 options RANDOM_IP_ID options ICMP_BANDLIM options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN options IPSEC options IPSEC_ESP options MAXCONS=1 options QUOTA options COMPAT_LINUX options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE options SC_NORM_ATTR="(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)" options SC_NORM_REV_ATTR="(FG_YELLOW|BG_GREEN)" options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR="(FG_RED|BG_BLACK)" options SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR="(FG_BLACK|BG_RED)" device isa device eisa device card device miibus device ppbus device ppi device lpt #device vga0 device ata device ed device atadisk device atapicd device npx0 at nexus? port IO_NPX irq 13 device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 device pcic0 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 device sc0 at isa? pseudo-device loop pseudo-device ether pseudo-device pty pseudo-device disc pseudo-device gif 2 pseudo-device gzip pseudo-device bpf 1 #pseudo-device splash _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
