hi all...
i have dilemma.
i asked a hosting faclity to set up freebsd 7 on new server. and i
mentioned that it should be 64 bit.
now they when i get into the machine i get:
srv391# uname -a
FreeBSD srv391.carpathiahost.com 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun
Feb 24 10:35:36 UTC 2008
root at driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
i did ask for an intel machine and the dmseg actually states:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz (1997.01-MHz
K8-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x10676 Stepping = 6
Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
Features2=0xce33d<SSE3,RSVD2,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,DCA,<b19>>
AMD Features=0x20100800<SYSCALL,NX,LM>
AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>
so i'm a bit confused about the the 64 bit and why the machine is
identifying itself as amd64 and not i686?
