Incorrect cache size
I have a dual p3 1.13ghz with 512k cache on both cpus.
When I first got the server, it was on the default kernel (rh kernel)
and i swear the cache said 512k when i did cat /proc/cpuinfo
Then i upgraded to 2.4.19
and two days ago I upgraded to 2.4.20
Today, I just noticed this
# cat /proc/cpuinfo

Something is wrong
it says cache size = 32
that has to be some sort of an error
Because I know it is 512k cache
I think it has to do with 2.4.20
I read somewhere that i have to add cachesize=512 or tell my kernel to run that when the machine boots up.
Here is what my lilo.conf looks like:
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux-2.4.20
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3smp
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3smp.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
label=linux-up
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20
label=linux-2.4.20
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
Could someone help me figure out where exactly I put this "cachesize=512" in my lilo.conf ?
I just don't want to screw anything up. Any help would be appreciated.
