cpu incorrectly identified
 
I have an AMD64 3700+ cpu, but for some reason my system insists that my cpu is i686, not x86_64. anyone know what I need to change to fix this?

Code:
# uname -m
i686

# uname -p
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+

Could the reason that uname cannot see my true architecture be because I have compiled my own kernel, and selected amd athlon in the config?

First of all, x86_64 processors are compatible with x86, so you must have just compiled it for x86. If you want a 64-bit kernel make sure you select an option that specifies x86_64 or something.

You must be running a 32bit distro... Mine showed up like that when I ran 32 bit, now I run 64 bit with a self compiled kernel and it shows correctly...

[amosf@shiva]$ uname -mpr
2.6.15.1 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+
