Re: OT: Help with computer config
If you're set up to build your own kernels you could make menuconfig and select Processor Type and Features where you can rig your kernel such that it's better able to recognize your particular processor. It's possible that your distribution ships with its kernels in some lowest-common-denominator configuration that isn't able to grok your CPU. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: OT: Help with computer config
Again, I appologize for not being more specific in that I am seeing this at during POST. I am thinking it may be something in the bios, but I don't see anything about a processor type in there.

OT: Help with computer config
Hello everyone! My appologies for the OT post, but I am having a small amount of trouble with my new Linux box. I just built the machine ( it is an AMD Athlon XP 1700, 1.47ghz). My problem is, when it boots, it registers the following on the main screen: Unknown Processor ( 1.100 ghz ) The problem is, it is not recognizing my processor and the 'ghz' is definately off. I have an MSI K7TTurbo - Socket A motherboard. I am just wondering, since it has been so very long since I built a computer, if anyone knows what is wrong that the processor is not recognized? Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!! I have Linux installed and running, no problem, but I would really like it to see the processor.

Re: OT: Help with computer config
Actually, I think that is where the problem lies. I am seeing this at the boot screen during POST, around the memory check. I haven't done anything with the Linux kernel as of yet. I wanted to solve the system level issue before optimizin the kernel.

Just off the top of my head, you might want to make sure that you have the latest BIOS revision. Also, check you BIOS settings and make sure that you have the right clock multiplier settings.

Re: OT: Help with computer config
I was actually looking at this, but wasn't really sure how to go about figuring out how to set the clock multiplier. Can anyone give some further insight on setting this?

Can anyone give some further insight on setting this? It is dependent entirely on the motherboard. Check with the OEM and get a manual. But first, do as others have suggested, and check for a firmware update. The processor identification code in BIOSes is often unaware of newer processors, and an update is needed to fix that. -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
