Unfortunately, Ubuntu no longer even supports booting from this nice
little CPU beyond lucid.  Obviously, this will not get fixed in Ubuntu.
Marking as such.

Title:
  /proc/cpuinfo reports incorrect  information for Via C3

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15

  The output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" is wrong

  processor       : 0
  vendor_id       : CentaurHauls
  cpu family      : 6
  model           : 6
  model name      : VIA Samuel
  stepping        : 2
  cpu MHz         : 400.179
  [...]

  My CPU has 600 MHz.  And while cpu frequency scaling was still working
  (c.f. bug 45747) I always saw the true frequency to be underreported
  by 33%.  It was 400/200 MHz when the machine was really running at
  600/400 MHz.

  Some possibly related issues where frequency is incorrectly reported
  are being discussed at
