Description Eric Anderson 2000-09-14 19:20:02 UTC

Generic kernel boots and runs just fine, but when we recompile a new kernel (even if we don't change anything in the kernel config file), it errors and bombs out.. I believe it is looking at the processor id of "Centaur Hauls" and assuming it is one of our older parts (which were socket 7 Pentium class x86 chips),
instead of our new socket 370 celeron-compatible x86 chips.

How-To-Repeat: (machine running our Cyrix III chip)
Install FreeBSD.
compile kernel.
Reboot.

Comment 1 Eric Anderson 2000-09-18 16:11:19 UTC

Kernel actually compiles ok, just panics on boot because of unknown cpu
identification.

We have edited the identcpu.c file to make this work successfully on our
systems.

If at first you don't succeed, you are running about average.

Does this problem still exist in newer releases?
