Hi,
I've got a system with FC3 on that I can't easily get inside of.
Yesterday the kernel crashed (apparently when I reconnected a network
cable).
So I updated the kernel RPM from 2.6.9 to 2.6.10. I chose the SMP
version but now wonder if that's correct. On Windows some new Pentiums -
those with hyper-threading I believe - show as two processors in Task
Manager. /proc/cpuinfo shows two processors but top only shows 1.
In top, press '1' to see multiple CPUs.
1. How many CPUs do I have? (See line from top and /proc/cpuinfo below).
2
2. Is there a problem running the SMP kernel package (e.g kernel-
smp-2.6.10-1.741_FC3.i686.rpm) on a single CPU system?
It might be a bit slower.
3. Would hyper-threading benefit from the SMP package?
Yes.
Paul.
