Just an idea, haven't followed the thread: could it have to do with the new timer frequency setting under Processor Type and Features? regards Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

Re: [gentoo-user] Incorrect information from /proc/cpuinfo
After a reboot, cpuinfo returned normal values... for a while.My best guess so far is it some how relates to the cpufreq governer.As of 2.6.14, changing between performance and userspace seems to hose up the clock values in cpuinfo. At the moment it is using the userspace governor (powernowd) and returning between 7 and 14 GHz and 15-28k bogomips. So, I'm inclined to think this is a kernel bug. The available clock speeds should be between 500MHz and 1.5GHz.I'm going to reboot again and experiment a bit to see if I can nail down what triggers the abberation.dcmOn 12/13/05, darren kirby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: quoth the Devon Miller: If only it were so...

LOL You sure you didn't modify that thing? If you were to reboot, does it say the same thing? Also, what does dmesg say about it? dmesg | grep CPU should say something I think.
