Hi.

>My microprocessor is a Cyrix Cy486DLC running at a mother board clock rate of 
>33 MHz and an internal clock rate of 100 MHz.

My apologies: my microprocessor IS NOT a 486DLC, it's a 486DX4. Some people
out there have pointed that out (thank you guys).

I should have believed to what is written on top of the microprocessor and
not to what the kernel says:

FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #2: Mon Jun 17 12:22:05 AST 1996
    eparis@skynet.ven.ra.rockwell.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/SKYNET
CPU: Cy486DLC (486-class CPU)
  Origin = "Cyrix"
.
.
.

Summarizing, what I have is:

Cyrix 486DX4 CPU (it says "IBM" on top of it but in the bottom it says "Cyrix")
16 Megs. of RAM
1 GByte IDE hard drive (entire disk for FreeBSD)
No external cache
FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE
Getting signals 10 and 11 (mostly 11's) with internal cache enabled and
disabled. More faults with the cache enabled.

I do not know if the problem can be that FreeBSD thinks it is dealing with a
kind of processor when in fact it is running on another type.

Thanks.

Eloy.-
