Re: CPU/cache detection wrong

[David L. DeGeorge]

I too have incorrect CPU/cache detection using  2.4.20-pre7-ac3. I seem to 
recall it working correctly on 2.4.19-ac1 (this was the version in which the 
ac did not get added by the patch). Anyway I have a tualatin PIII with a 512K 
L2 cache.  I inserted the printk in setup.c that Alan asked for earlier in 
the thread and got three outputs (it's a two processor machine). I have 
edited everything but the printk output and the CPU:... lines. Things are 
working fine with the kernel command line cachesize=512.
