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. So my questions are: 1. How many CPUs do I have? (See line from top and /proc/cpuinfo below). 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? 3. Would hyper-threading benefit from the SMP package? Thanks in advance for any help, Leon... --- /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 3 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 2995.275 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pni monitor ds_cpl cid bogomips : 5931.00 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 3 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 2995.275 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pni monitor ds_cpl cid bogomips : 5980.16 CPU line from top: Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 100.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
