It reports what the BIOS tells the Linux kernel. You need to boot into the BIOS setup screens and check the configuration there *before* Linux boots. top will tell you how many CPUs your system sees. At the top you'll see 1 line per CPU. I can't remember off the top of my head if /proc/cpuinfo shows you as well. I would assume it does. -- 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
