I too experience this. On my system uname -a returns:

Linux onefish 2.4.18-lavienx #1 Tue Jun 25 19:07:48 EST 2002 i686
unknown unknown GNU/Linux

I get:

Linux version 2.4.18-lavienx (root@onefish) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002
(Debian prerelease)) #1 Tue Jun 25 19:07:48 EST 2002

So it seems the info is available in /proc/cpuinfo. Or perhaps I
misunderstand the fields that uname is printing.

Clarification would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick.
