Re: SMP working
When you reboot this machine, do you see 1 or 2 penguins on the screen (if
you see any at all)
You can also do something like this,
run top in one window (console) and then
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
If you see ~50% cpu idle, you have more than 1 cpu working... This little
dd trick will use up ALL of a single cpu.
You should really see all of your cpu's listed in /proc/cpuinfo
If not, then your smp is not enabled. If you just built your kernel, make
sure that your lilo.conf is pointing to the "new" kernel. I found that on
a couple of my machines, "make install" of a custom kernel will put it in /
and not /boot while lilo.conf was looking in /boot.
This bit me a while back.
If you are using the debian kernel image, make sure you got the SMP
version, There is a 2.4.16-686-smp and 2.4.18-686-smp kernel image available.
Hope this helps,
Loren

I just loaded up Woody on a new machine that has two 500MHZ Pentium III
processors. I am trying to determine if the build I loaded is recognizing
both processors. My problem is I have no clue as to where to check for
this . I looked in the /proc directory and did a cat of cpu but it only
showed one processor at 500MHZ.
Am I looking in the wrong place???
Thanks,
