The system sees it as TWO cpus. I don't know if your CPU is detected as multiples or not, so I can't be totally sure of the answer. However, if you know that the single CPU version works fine for you then modify your grub.conf file to make that the default. As far as I know, when you do a kernel update, you will get both versions (smp and regular) or at least that's how it seems to have worked for me over the past several kernel updates... one package, two versions. -- David ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.
