Re: [SLUG] Linux on Cyrix-233: what's happen here...?

Thats because PR stands for "perfomance Rating" ie as fast as a 233 because
our chips are better I've got a MII 300 it only clocks at 233 when you see
linux boot it will report the actual mhz.

Subject: [SLUG] Linux on Cyrix-233: what's happen here...?




I have a second hand Cyrix IBM 233 with the  peocessor description:

6 * 86 MX
      PR233

IBM26*86MX-CVAPR233GE
3.0X 66MHZ-2.9V  CORE

I set the mother-board jumpper corectly as stated  in the docs.

The funny thing here is: if i set it properly, the  linux installation will
stop at:

Running Anaconda - please wait...
Install exited abnormally -- received signal signal  11
sending termination signals... done
sending kill signals... done
disabling swap...
unmounting filesystems...
    /proc/bus/usb
    /mnt/runtime
    /mnt/sourcew umount failed (
    /dev/pts
    /proc
you may safely reboot your system

But... if I set the mother-board jumpper to pentium  200, I can install
everthing normally, withoung having any problem.

I checked the processor (the hardware) and it is  233 as I typed before.

Any help please?
Thanks in Advance,


Phillipus.
