I thought I posted sample output on this, the info does not appear to
have the serial number in the available information. If I have a system
up...
The output of the devices:
/dev/cpu/0/cpuid
0000000 0002 0000 6547 756e 746e 6c65 6e69 4965
002 \0 \0 \0 G e n u n t e l i n e I

001 001 002 003 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 A \b 004 \f
*
0002000
/dev/cpu/1/cpuid
0000000 0002 0000 6547 756e 746e 6c65 6e69 4965
002 \0 \0 \0 G e n u n t e l i n e I
0000020 0665 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 fbff 0183
e 006 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 377 373 203 001
0000040 0101 0302 0000 0000 0000 0000 0841 0c04
001 001 002 003 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 A \b 004 \f
*
0002000
And the md5sum, showing they are the same:
/dev/cpu/0/cpuid
1d6470ad8a3c7201ad150abbd1f31da8 -
/dev/cpu/1/cpuid
1d6470ad8a3c7201ad150abbd1f31da8 -
So as far as I can see you don't have a choice, the CPUID does not
include the S/N. I don't think I have CPUs which are specially modifiled
not to have S/N, so I assume it's not there, and this is the same stuff
as /proc/cpuinfo.
System is dual P-II/500, 256MB, "2.4.2-ac17 #14 SMP" setup.

At LinuxExpo Sun was showing Linux applications running on Solaris.
They don't get it, the arrow points the other way. There's a reason why
there's no SolarisExpo, Solaris is a tool; Linux is a philosophy, a
religion, a way of life, and only incidentally an operating system.

I don't seem to see a config option to use the old aic7xxx driver,
although the source is there and there's sort-of support in the Makefile
for drivers/scsi. Before I hack it by hand, is this an opps that the old
drive isn't available?
The new driver has several defects, PCMCIA doesn't like it and it is
trying to use some database stuff which conflicts with the database I
chose to install. The idea of going to a database in a driver strikes me
as rather an odd implementation choice.

I believe these are related to large file support, by their names. Can
you tell if these are compiled in or being ignored?
If you want to test, try reusing the lowest number. Or drop in
definitions to match and then add your call at the end.

It's possible that in this context, cpuid means nothing other than
make/model, to differentiate between different flavours of Intel, AMD,
Cyrix, et. al.

Follow it gedhdlist prints in RH Linux 7.0 or higher. Anybody knows
what the options exactly mean? I updated RPM files in RH CD and
ran genhdlist with 2 <path>s. Two hdlist file(hdlist, hdlist2) has
been generated but I got this error
genhdlist [--withnumbers] [--fileorder <path>] [--hdlist <path>]
<paths>+
error message : ``compat-libs-6.2-2.i386 cannot be opened. this
is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media ''
How can I set the location data of each RPM packages?
