David, The reason the second processor is not recognized is due to the rtai kernel which is installed as a part of emc. It does not recognize the second processor.
There are packages for pre-2.3 here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/experimental/ These packages were tested with the Intel Atom 330 board and should work for any processors in the P4 family. I do not know if the Athlon x2 falls into that family (anyone ?) and have not had a chance to check the kernel configuration for the available options. Alex J, Steve P - The 2.3.0 packages are on my ftp server if anyone would like to upload those to linuxcnc.org and give them a permanent home. Regards, Eric my old single core system died and i switched to a system that has a dual core cpu. i did a fresh install of linuxcnc 8.04, but according to /proc/cpuinfo only one core appears to be utilized. i am not sure why this is, running the generic kernel, multiple cores are used automatically. i have searched around the linuxcnc wiki a bit but i am confused. i found mention that adding "isolcpus=1" to the grub file will lock emc to a single core but nothing explicitly about enabling both cores. i am using emc 8.04 ubuntu, so how do i enable both cores of a dual core (athlon x2) system? thanks in advance for the advice/info. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
