Bug 35312 – My AMD 2400+ 2000 MHZ processor is detected as an 1800+ at 1500 MHZ

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Shane Bro 2003-12-07 23:09:52 UTC]

I downloaded the 1st ISO for Gentoo (1.4 I believe) and the boot screen, after
the CD Rom boot Gentoo Linux, reports my processor as an 1800+.  I know this is
not true as I had some issues with a local computer store trying to sell me a
Barton core (2500+) and it only came up as a 1000 MHZ processor.  After the
2400+ was put in the BIOS saw this as a 2000 MHZ processor

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put in boot CD and let Gentoo boot from it.
2. Watch screen that auto detects the processor and it comes up as an 1800+
3.

Actual Results:  
I have not actually installed Gentoo yet.  I am in the middle of doing so.

Expected Results:  
The software should see my 2400+ as a 2400+

Please contact me and I can show you screen shots of Windows XP that shows this
as a 2400+ and when I install Gentoo I will also send you screen shots.

*what* said it was the wrong cpu ?
`cat /proc/cpuinfo` ?

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
