Description Matt Domsch 2002-03-14 20:59:56 UTC

Description of Problem:
Please add the x86info package to the Hampton distribution, and pre-make 
the /dev/cpu/* devnodes.  This can be really useful for tracking down CPU-
dependent issues.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/x86info/

Per Dave Jones, this is the preferred method of obtaining CPU information, 
instead of /proc/cpuinfo

x86info v1.7 doesn't know about P4 Prestonia or Foster CPUs, nor HT.  Dave says 
that the one in CVS does.
