RHEL – Incorrect Processor Information
• If an Intel Xeon 54xx processor is installed in a system running
RHEL Version 4 Update 5 and Demand-Based Switching is
enabledintheBIOS,
cat/proc/cpuinfo and
cat/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuxx/cpufreq/scaling_
cur_freq
displays an incorrect processor frequency. (The actual
processor speed is not affected.)
• If an Intel Xeon 54
xx processor is installed in a system running RHEL
Version 3 Update 9, incorrect processor information is displayed
in
/proc/cpuinfo . (The actual processor speed is not affected.)
This behavior will be corrected in a future RHEL 4 Update.
