Hi,

Using a stable kernel up to now, I tried (after a longer break, last was
2.1.89) a development kernel again (2.1.107) just to see that my IBM/Cyrix
6x86L PR200+ isn't recognized :-(

By lurking the list I read about some problems wrt Cyrix <-> PII recognition,
so: is there e.g. a bootprompt switch to force cyrix recognition, 'cause I
think the Cyrix optimization code is in the kernel, just waiting to be
activated, right? I think such will not harm - those who use it know what's in
their computer (and it's _not_ a PII *sigh*).

Bye,
Nils
