Has anyone else noticed BogoMIPS is zero? Are we not doing the calibrate delay?

Probably, because it's no longer relevant these days. It doesn't say anything special.
The more surprising it is that BogoMIPS have become a benchmark for

Interestingly, my IP28 still shows the BogoMIPS reading in /proc/cpuinfo:
stuartl@indigo ~ $ uname -a Linux indigo 2.6.10-mipscvs-20050115-ip28 #2 Sun Apr 3 08:24:18 EST 2005 mips64 R10000 V2.5 FPU V0.0 SGI Indigo2 GNU/Linux stuartl@indigo ~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo system type : SGI Indigo2 processor : 0 cpu model : R10000 V2.5 FPU V0.0 BogoMIPS : 193.53 wait instruction : no microsecond timers : yes tlb_entries : 64 extra interrupt vector : no hardware watchpoint : yes VCED exceptions : not available VCEI exceptions : not available stuartl@indigo ~ $
So honestly, I don't know what's happening with BogoMIPS. :-) What I do know however, it isn't worth a cracker in terms of benchmarking value. ;-)
