Well, I can verify that it is _not_ a PIII issues. My dual celeron box refuses to report CPU speeds during boot. However, I have one dual celeron box which does reports a CPU speed as follows: CPU: Celeron (400.91-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x665 Stepping = 5 Its running a -CURRENT kernel from back in Sept. (It was a bit of a hack by a collegue to get StarOffice to run in -STABLE). I'll check with him and see if we can reproduce it on another SMP machine with 4.0-RELEASE. Maybe this is a 3.x vs. 4.x issue. Cheers, Bryan --------------------------------------------------- "Pride would never set foot in paradise, would it? And beauty will never save the world, will it?
