There is no kernel parameter for this in 2.4. As long as you're running an smp kernel, and the BIOS presents all the 4 CPUs (2 physical with 2 logical CPUs each), the Linux will see and use all 4. Your comment about "in Intel XEON it is by default" doesn't make any sense. The chip - that is, the Xeon - will always present the logical CPUs. The BIOS can then turn that off and that's what you need to double-check. Have you in fact verified your BIOS settings? .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
