Very interesting is what mine says. I have a true Intel Pentium processor.

/proc/cpuinfo shows:

processor       : 0
cpu             : 586
model           : Pentium 75+
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
stepping        : 5
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid           : yes
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8
bogomips        : 39.73

and HOSTTYPE=i486 (!)

the arch command says it is an i586.

What is wrong here that sets the HOSTTYPE variable to the wrong value?
