Note all the bugs I supposedly do *not* have. As shown above, my processor is a
Pentium/60. This ancient Gateway box was one of the first Pentium machines on
the market. This being the case, is it really possible that I don't have the
fdiv bug? (This is the bug that caused a very public uproar 7 years ago.) I
would think that this early version of the Pentium, even if it is stepping #7,
would have most of the bugs found in the Pentium architecture.
FYI, when building the kernel, I opted for the backward-compatible procfs
support. Also, my installed version of procps is v1.2.7. According to
Documentation/Changes this version should be okay with 2.1.117.
Is my CPU really this bug-free?
Thanks.
