Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there. I noticed that a verbose boot on 2.2-RELEASE incorrectly identifies my chipset. This is a completely non-critical issue, but I'd thought I'd bring it up anyays :-) dmesg output: FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE #0: Tue Dec 3 23:39:42 EST 1996 root@celebris.quickweb.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/RingZero Calibrating clock(s) relative to mc146818A clock ... i586 clock: 149998373 Hz, i CPU: Pentium Pro (148.50-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x611 Stepping=1 Features=0xf9ff,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV> ... chip1 rev 2 on pci0:25 Now, I know that it says on the chipset that it's an 82450GX - I'm just curious if it's the actual probe reporting this KX ident, or if it just hasn't been properly identified (i.e. no code wirtten to distinguish the KX from the GX). Or is it even possible to distinguish the two ?? Thanks for any insight! As soon as I get a PDF viewer installed, I'll dig through the PPro Developers Guide and see what it says... =) cya, -Mark --------------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | RingZero Comp. vinyl.quickweb.com/mark | --------------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
