One of the first things I would check is top, see if it see's two cpu's. I would also check dmesg see if it lists two cpu's, I do not know how it lists a logical cpu, but I am sure google can find it out for you. I know many moons ago when I tried the installer on sarge it only seen one cpu, seems that they do not include an smp aware kernel with the installer, that might of changed a while ago. If that is the case just make your own, or download a smp aware kernel with apt-get. That was with dual amd MP cpus, was many moons ago, probably going on a good nine months. You just might want to keep it to one cpu as HyperThreading has a security bulletin against it, found in the BSD's probably effects all OS's. Check the news its all over the web if you want to find out more. Gnu-Raiz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
