Why does FreeBSD 8.-0 think that my Dell SX260 have "non-unform processors"?

I don't know.  Since last time, I've upgraded the bios to the latest
(A03) and reset bios to default values - but the problem is still there.
According to the specs, a SX260 supports all Pentium 4 cpus with 400
MHz and 533 MHz FSB (front side bus).

The only setting in bios related to cpu speed are
"normal" and "comaptible". I've tried both - doesn't make a difference.

Now sysctl.dev.cpu says:
root at kg-work2# sysctl dev.cpu
dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU0

Not, I didn't make one that evening. There is one over ther now. :-)

Yes, I had, it is enabled now.
