Description Don Dixon 2004-02-26 17:19:08 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)

Description of problem:
I have installed the latest updates to FC1 and noticed this problem. 
When booting my Athlon XP 1600+ system to the CLI, I am greeted with:

Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
Kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl on an i686

Even before I loaded the updates, I think it was still reporting i686
as opposed to athlon.

/proc/cpuinfo says:

processor	: 0
vendor_id	: AuthenticAMD
cpu family	: 6
model		: 6
model name	: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1600+
stepping	: 2
cpu MHz		: 1370.182
cache size	: 256 KB
fdiv_bug	: no
hlt_bug		: no
f00f_bug	: no
coma_bug	: no
fpu		: yes
fpu_exception	: yes
cpuid level	: 1

pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow
bogomips	: 2732.85

and by entering cat /var/log/dmesg | grep CPU I get:

Initializing CPU#0
CPU: L1 I Cache: 64K (64 bytes/line), D cache 64K (64 bytes/line)
CPU: L2 Cache: 256K (64 bytes/line)
Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#0.
CPU:     After generic, caps: 0383f9ff c1c3f9ff 00000000 00000000

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1600+ stepping 02

I have gone back and replaced all of the *.i686.rpm files with either
*.athlon.rpm or *.i386.rpm to no effect.

Has anyone else seen this?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot to CLI
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  I am greeted with:

Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
Kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl on an i686

Expected Results:  I expect:

Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
Kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl on an athlon

Additional info:

This same system had RH7.3 installed on it before and athlon was
correctly identified when booting to CLI.

The "procinfo" package to which this bug report is filed, is an
application /usr/bin/procinfo and not the proc filesystem located
under /proc.

This bug report does not appear to be a problem in the procinfo
package itself, but it isn't clear to me what the bug is that you're
claiming, in order for me to be able to reassign it to the proper
component in bugzilla.

I'm going to reassign it to the "distribution" component for now.



Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2004-03-05 20:11:59 UTC
On second thought, Arjan recommended reassigning this to mkinitrd ...

Comment 3 Florian La Roche 2004-03-05 22:30:08 UTC
athlon is always a i686 for the kernel
