Paris" Subject: (correction) FreeBSD works with Cy486DLC processors? Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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.
