This Space Intentionally Left Blank

(Ramblings) Generic Title

The site was down for a while due to a brief power outage while I was at work and then me recompiling a kernel (and forgetting a module that left me wondering why I couldn't connect…) That's not important though, as I'm back and I have a request!

I'm looking for the contents of /proc/cpuinfo (as well as the output of uname -m) from any Linux machine that's not running on a x86 CPU. It's for a script I've been messing around with and any extra info would be greatly appreciated.

(Additionally, if anyone knows where I can get extra CPU info beyond the basic architecture information on Solaris or any of the BSDs as well as the format of the file it's in, I'd greatly appreciate that even more.)

Update: More specifially, I'm looking for data for the Hitachi SuperH, IBM S/390, HP PA-RISC, Intel IA-64, DEC VAX, AMD x86-64 and CRIS.
Additionally, confirmation of the data I have for any others would be appreciated, with the exception of the m68k.
I suppose if I could find a Dreamcast keyboard I could get the SuperH readily enough…

Unfortunately, I can't help you out?

What do you need all the data for?  Do you just happen to have all those machines laying around, and you want to install Linux on them?

One of those questions marks isn't supposed to be there.  Can you guess which one?

I wish I had all those machines lying around, although it would probably be just a little hot and noisy.

What it is is that I'm working on modifying a client for the Uptimes Project and I'm trying to get CPU information beyond the result of `uname -m`. Unfortunately most websites with the output of that file fail to include the output of uname, which I need as well.

Right now the only architectures I have running (and therefore the only architectures that I can confirm the contents of the file on) are x86 and m68k.  Eventually (i.e. hopefully in less than a few weeks) I'll be able to confirm the results on ppc and sparc, but for the time being those ones are also unknown.

(Actually, I was fooling around with template modules, trying to figure out what I could do with them, and I think I made up a hardware page to test them. Let me see... Here it is.)
