subject: freebsd 5.0 doesnt understand P54C/amd k5 as I586_cpu?

Hi, All!

i wanted to install freebsd 5.0R
have tryed disked and cdrom installation
one problem duaring boot:
both generic and i586_cpu kernels led to this

kernel panic: inthand_add
cant initialize ICU

rebooting in 5 secs...


my cpu is intel at 100Mhz

CPU: Pentium/P54C (99.95-MHz 586-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x526  Stepping = 6
  Features=0x1bf
real memory  = 67108864 (65536K bytes)

i also tryed i133Mhz and  amd k5 pr133 - same problem

But when i installed pentium mmx the problem gone. bootin was ok.

how should i fix such prob?
cvsup or maybe just (un)define some cpu option in kernel config?

dont want to compile kernel with just i386_cpu

  wbr, Dmitry
