From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79C-SGI [en] (X11; I; IRIX 6.5 IP32) Description of problem: This bug is similar to a very old bug - #31485 However, I noticed in RedHat 9 systems that are ia32 based, uname -p will report things like 'i686' instead of 'unknown'. On Itanium1 and Itanium2 systems I've used (including SGI 750, HP RX2600, and SGI's Altix product), uname -p reports unknown with AS 2.1. This isn't a huge deal but we ran across this and I thought I'd file a bug on it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sh-utils-2.0.11-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to AS 2.1 ia64 system 2. run 'uname -p' 3. Actual Results: It reports 'unknown' Expected Results: Something like 'itanium1' or similar. Additional info:
Yes. sh-utils became coreutils, and that displays 'ia64' from uname -p. So it's 'fixed' (in as much as, you get the output you expect) in a newer version.
