    Processor Misspelled in uname -a

    Code:
    oxygen ~ # uname -a
    Linux oxygen 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 #2 PREEMPT Wed Feb 22 13:20:13 EST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Proswssor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
    It doesn't necessarily matter, but where the heck is the "Proswssor" coming from, and is there a way to fix this?

    I blame Microsoft.




    Seriously.... wtf is that?! I'm intrigued.

    What is the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" ?

    I have seen this before by the way with AMD chips.

    Code:
    processor       : 0
    vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
    cpu family      : 6
    model           : 8
    model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) Proswssor
    stepping        : 1
    cpu MHz         : 1826.322
    cache size      : 256 KB
    I've never understood how things worked a really low level, though. Is this reading the 'microcode' data in the CPU/mobo, or is it just a typo in something like the kernel?

    I would bet a bios update on that board would fix the spelling.
