It's odd - I'm on at least one of the mailing lists in question, but I missed
part of this thread yesterday - such as Bradley's message, and another
that must have come from someone (Dom?) at Algorithmics.
Anyway, the my CPU detection would certainly not have worked for
a Mobilon. But it ought to have worked for a DECstation. What
CPU does it have? In addition to the cpu_probe() routine itself,
arch/mips/kernel/cpu_probe.c contains a table that describes the
CPU's that are recognized, and in principle it "knows" all the CPUs
that were recognized by the old assembler code in head.S, plus
a couple more (R4300 and MIPS 4Kc/5Kc). The problem may
be a CPU that is mis-identified, or it may be that the options in the
table associated with that CPU are incorrectly defined. Please
let me know what CPU and "PrID" the system has.
