smp falls back to up mode on quad core

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,
 
I'm running Centos 5.1 on an Intel Quad 2 Core with four Q6600 processors.
Despite Centos 5 supporting multiple cores (SPM), it doesn't seem to work for me:
1) a dmesg shows that only one processor is seen:
     "SPM alternatives: switching to UP code", etc.
2) file /proc/cpuinfo shows only one processor
3) top with option 1 (to toggle between seeing all processors or an average) shows only 1 processor.
 
I've googled this, and other people have found this kind of trouble, but I was not able to find any solutions.
 
By the way: I've installed windows xp to see if it was a bios problem, but windows sees the 4 processors just fine.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
 
Julian.
