Hi,

on my Cyrix 6x86L (notice the L) I've got the problem that it doesn't get identified as a Cyrix processor. Instead it is treated as a common 486.

I think the problem is that the cpuid feature is not enabled after booting. So init_cyrix which enables the cpuid feature is never called.

As a bad hack I've set the this_cpu pointer to cyrix in common.c:identify_cpu():

this_cpu = cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_CYRIX];

Who is responsible for x86 CPU detection?
Hans Peter Arvin? Andrew Balsa?
