Automatic processor type detection problem

kernel detects CPU as it should be

dmesg line
[ 19.279642] CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz stepping 06

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

made "stop/start" again, got same

also just FYI

I have Hardy Haron (8.04) system, and it might take some time before I could manually roll in via dpkg that Interpid (8.10) version of package

Ok, it was much quicker than I thought :)

Interpid (8.10) version seems to solve issue, so you can report is as FIXED :)

feisty, gutsy, and hardy had version 2.1013-498 of the client. Intrepid has version 2.9015.504-1. There were a number of changes between these two versions, which probably added proper detection of the CPU. Since you say that it is working for you I'm going to call it fixed.
