Mine is cpuflags-0.82

Mine dmesg only has:
cpu0 at mainbus0: (uniprocessor)
cpu0: Intel Pentium Pro, II or III (686-class), 1598.73 MHz, id 0x6d6
cpu0: features afe9fbbf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR>

?? I remember that once (upon a time) cpuflags gave the -march=pentium3
output but it only happened once. It might have been when I was running
a different kernel (I have experimented with different builds - from
2.0_STABLE to -current and back now to 2.0.2 (from a clean install)).
Any ideas? And why does my dmesg not say Pentium M like it does on the
outside of this Acer laptop? Am I missing something in the kernel conf?
