I was using K12LTSP 4.0.1 everything was fine except for Issue #2 and #3 which
I will get to in those posts.
In this issue, I frequently used Top command to see how things were going, cpu
and memory wise.
the server is a Gateway 3.06 MHz processor with hyperthreading, and lots of
memory. the Top program showed 2 cpu's when booting with the ltsmp(?)
version of the kernel. When using the other version of the kernel, only one
showed.
I wiped the server and reloaded 4.1 version from scratch. The two kernel
choices were smp(?) and not smp, no ltsmp(?) I tried both and neither one
show 2 cpu's in Top. the smp version of the kernel is supposed to be the one
used for multiple cpu's or hyperthreading.
Has anyone run into this? I kind of like seeing 2 cpu's when running Top. Is
this a change in 4.1? if it is it is a flaw, I think. Why am I not seeing 2
cpu's like I did in 4.0.1?
just to check, I wiped and reloaded 4.0.1 again. I saw both cpu's again.
Then I upgraded rather than fresh install, 2nd cpu disappeared again. I
understand that the second cpu is just a function of the hyperthreading, but
I like to know that it, the hyperthreading, is working.
Any help/suggestions.
