Depending on which kernel and release of RedHat you're running, you may
have to compile in support for SMP (multiple processors). 5.2 does not
have it built in, I believe 6.0 and later do. "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will
have each processor listed separately and should look look something like this:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
cpu : 686
model : Pentium Pro
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
stepping : 9
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid : yes
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov
bogomips : 199.07
processor : 1
cpu : 686
model : Pentium Pro
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
stepping : 9
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no

fpu_exception : yes
