Interesting problem : I've just upgraded a machine from a P-III
Katmai 512k cache 550MHz CPU to a P-III Coppermine 256k cache 650MHz
one. Everything works fine, but /proc/cpuinfo is reporting that it
has 0 KB of cache visible on the CPU.

This is using 2.2.12-20smp stock Redhat 6.1 issue : are there any 
known problems with this detecting cache size?

I've checked all BIOS settings, and all cache levels are enabled as
normal.
