Hi!
We have a discussion on alpha mailinglist at the moment, because of
uname -mpi.
AFAIK, uname -m should do some glibc call, which calls kernel, right?
However, I have two machines:
AS1000A:
[root@tyskie ~]# uname -mpi && cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
alpha alpha alpha
cpu model : EV56
DS10:
[root@gosa ~]# uname -mpi && cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep model
alpha alpha alpha
cpu model : EV67
Shouldn't uname rport alphaev67 and alphaev56? Maybe it's just a .config
problem. Maybe the kernel needs to be compiled for the different
sub-arches!?
Any help would be great.
Thx,
Oliver

The kernel uname function at least does not have fields that
report processor or hardware platform.

But on i386 it reports:
[oliver@pils ~]$ uname -mpi
i686 i686 i386
And I remember that it used to report alphaev67 or alphaev56...

Reports this for me:
$ uname -mpi
i686 athlon i386
