[b]wrong cpu type![/b]

Installed openserever 5.0.7 with maint. pack4 on an IBM x226 server with intel xeon processor. Uname -X reports the machine as "i80386". In previous releases a patch was available to correctly identify the processor type. Anybody knows if there is a patch or an update thar I missed? Thanks

uname -X is correctly identifying the machine's architecture, not the CPU.

Use hw -r cpu to get more specific information about the CPU.

Annihilannic, on 5.0.7 the type of processor should be in the ouput of uname -X:
Machine = Xeon

Ah, okay. (still on 5.0.5 here)

still on 5.0.5 here
Hopefully not with a P4 nor a Xeon ...

 

[Annihilannic]

Don't be ridiculous, we don't have the budget for that!!!

P-II 500's mostly, a couple of 1GHz P-III's I think.

Ok thanks guys, but I'm still where I started. How can I make it report a xeon processor instead of i80386?

Just to add to the confusion: (i.e. Add information, but provide no solution)

My 5.0.7 box states "Machine=Pent4". I don't think it's a Xeon.

What do you get with the "hw -r cpu" command?

Here's the output from a Client's Xeon-based 5.0.7 box:
Release = 3.2v5.0.7
KernelID = 2003-02-18
Machine = Xeon

This is the result of "hw -r cpu" on that same system:
The CPU performs like a 2916Mhz Intel Xeon

Processor: 1 (0x00)
Vendor ID: GenuineIntel
cpu_family: 15
cpu_id: 0x0b000f29
type: 0
family: 15
model: 2
stepping: 9
brandId: 11

Uname -X shows
Release = 3.2v5.0.7
KernelID = 2003-02-18
Machine = i80386

hw -r cpu shows
Processor: 1 (0x00)
Vendor ID: GenuineIntel
cpu_family: 15
cpu_id: 0x0b000f41
type: 0
family: 15
model: 4
stepping: 1
