Hai,
I recently downloaded kernel 2.5.65, then applied subsequent patch
released by linus for 2.5.66 (patch-2.5.66.bz2),and then applied AC
patch (patch-2.5.66-ac1.bz2)
I got thrugh compilation except few errors in WAN drivers compilation
and character drivers compilation. Thats not my question is about.
I am using this kernel on RedHat 7.3 filesystem. I have few questions
and here they are.
Question 1:
problem on /proc/cpuinfo. cpuinfo doesnt showup speed in MHz. It shows
it as 0.00. and it shows different bogomips too.
I compared this with 2.4.18-18(kernel distributed by redhat), I am
attaching both the outputs below
2.4.18 /proc/cpuinfo
--------------------
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15

/proc/cpuinfo from 2.5.65-ac4 (that is what being showed up in
/proc/version)
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 1
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz

mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm
bogomips : 2093.05
either the information provided in 2.4.18 or 2.5.65 is wrong. which is
correct then?
my /proc/version details
Linux version 2.5.65-ac4 (root@Agni) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat
Linux 7.3 2.96-113)) #9 Fri Mar 28 16:13:18 IST 2003
what could be wrong.
Second question: where is /proc/pci gone?
Third question: my KDE kicker doesnt startup, it gets crashed even if i
run as root. It happens so only in kernel 2.5.x and not 2.4.18. what
could be wrong for this?
If any of you want further details, i can post in too.
Thank you,
Gopi

Disable the system monitor thing, it got broken.

Sorry can't help with the rest, my brain is gone for the weekend.

Bogomips is an approximation anyway. The CPU speed one is a bug in the
-ac kernel tree. Steven Cole pinned down the actual problem.

It's now a config option:
CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY_PROC=y
