Boot messages will make mention about the number of processors (check 'dmesg'). /proc/cpuinfo will show each CPU detected. > Yet, /proc/self/cpu has 2 lines in it: I believe the first line is the 'aggregate total' for all CPUs, and the 'cpu0' line is for the first CPU. Since there is no line for the second CPU, this is further evidence that only one CPU is being detected. > Well, uname -a seems the same: > $ uname -a > Linux taz 2.4.18 #8 SMP Sat Apr 27 19:26:36 EDT 2002 i686 unknown This just indicates that you have an SMP capable kernel. Such a kernel will identify with 'SMP' even if the motherboard lacks SMP support. On Sun, 28 Apr 2002, at 6:01pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hmmm, I wonder if the second CPU isn't seated properly.

I imagine it is possible that an improperly seated CPU could sustain damage, e.g., due to power coming in on the wrong pins. > The funny thing is that things on this system seem amazingly fast > compared to the 2.4.16 kernel I was running before?!!! You changed kernels. Maybe you even changed kernel configuration? In any event, that is hardly an apples-to-apples comparison. Try booting the old kernel and see what it thinks.
