The CPUID instruction on all k6 processors returns an "instruction family" value which tells us it is a 586 class processor. This is documented in the AMD Processor Recognition Application Note: http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/athlon/techdocs/pdf/20734.pdf Add the following line to your kernel config file and your problems will likely go away: cpu "I586_CPU" Kelly -- Kelly Yancey - kbyanc@posi.net - Richmond, VA Analyst / E-business Development, Bell Industries http://www.bellind.com/ Maintainer, BSD Driver Database http://www.posi.net/freebsd/drivers/ Coordinator, Team FreeBSD http://www.posi.net/freebsd/Team-FreeBSD/ State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: dwhite State-Changed-When: Thu May 11 15:58:44 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: No further response from user, assume problem fixed. >Unformatted:
