x86info does report sep, but arch/i386/kernel/cpu/intel.c has this to say: /* SEP CPUID bug: Pentium Pro reports SEP but doesn't have it until model 3 mask 3 */ if ((c->x86<<8 | c->x86_model<<4 | c->x86_mask) < 0x633) clear_bit(X86_FEATURE_SEP, c->x86_capability); whereas our cpu is cpu family : 6 model : 2 so, no SEP for you. I imagine we can bump the model and mask to 3. > and the vendor id looks kinda > random too: this looks like a cpuid problem? > I see a vendor_id : GenuineIntel ? -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
