[S.u.S.E. Linux] CPUInfo?
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/a4353db6dea30b4cca4f40e3fb30be92.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
My /proc/cpuinfo file is empty. I thought this file was supposed to
keep a record of the CPU, and its relative bogomips performance, etc..
My CPU is a Cyrix P200+, and I'm using SuSE 5.2. Is there any way to
get the CPU info to read out this for this chip?

You mean executing "cat /proc/cpuinfo" returns nothing at all? Lawrence Sayre wrote:

No problem. /proc is a virtual file system, there isn't anything to read physically, plus it's something that has to be compiled into the kernel, so if you didn't have it in the kernel "cat /proc/cpuinfo" would have returned an error. Glad I could help. Lawrence Sayre wrote:

I'm getting this on a Cyrix machine: mantel@Galerkin:/home/alex/mantel > cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 686 model : PPro A-step vendor_id : CyrixInstead stepping : unknown fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid : yes wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 pge cmov mmx bogomips : 166.71 You could try kernel 2.0.34 as it has some modifications in the CPU identification code.
