Re: SMP with kernel 2.2.3

[John Leget]

Hi,

Seems to work ok here, runnning potata SMP with kernel 2.2.3 also running the
distributed-net client and top shows full utilisation, i was also using xosview 
but
that seems to be broken with my current setup :(

Interestingly some months back when i went SMP top showed 200% for a while :). 
After
some upgrades this changed, xosview showed both active ( when it worked ).

cheers

 most 50% of the CPU is getting used, i.e. only one of the processors.  At
 first I thought that top was wrong, but it does seem much slower than with
 kernel 2.1.121.

 Thanks for any help!

You are right, I think it works fine, it's just that the CPU utilization
(and maybe process priorities) are different than under my old 2.1.121
kernel.  Incidentally, I can't get xosview to work any more either, but
/proc/cpuinfo does show 2 processors and I can get the CPU utilization to
go up to 100% if I really try.  Anyway, I guess I was just confused.

Yup, I had the same 200% problem for a while, but then I think they fixed
it in February.
