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/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
