Unknown CPU
I've an unknown cpu (athlon xp) in my machine. What data do I need to collect so the kernel knows what it is?

That string gets read from the CPU directly, after the BIOS programs it. Try and get an updated BIOS.

It's clearly a barton, what kernel are you running?

I know on my ASUS A7N8X, the CPU type when the CPU is detected is shown as Unknown unless the correct clock rates etc are used. As soon as they are set correctly.. it says Athlon 2600+. Before I got them correct, it had some unknown string (sorry Icant tell you what it was...) and I dont know what Linux reported then because I at that time all was new in this PC and hard drive was blank.
Are you over or underclocking?

Nope, the CPU is clocked per spec. I have an issue with this motherboard since I got it, half the time when I reboot it blurps and simply won't boot with a high-low warble. I have to turn the machine off for about 30 minutes or drain the cmos and reset everything.
I'm actually running the RAM a little slow.

Hi,
You have the same CPU like me.
I have the EPox mobo and I had this issue.
If your bios ver is not 10/17/2003 then update it from the net.
