Description J 2006-10-30 13:57:04 UTC
Description of problem:

Only 1 CPU is listed under /proc/cpuinfo for a dual-core CPU (Pentium D960)
Note: This appears to be unrelated to anaconda bug because of the version of the
kernel in use...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Linux 172.16.1.33 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:37:32 EDT 2006 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
 
Actual results:

Expected results:

( At least ):
...

...


Steps attempted to resolve:
Removed and reinstalled i686 kernel.
( Thinking it was an anaconda bug. )

Other knowns:
Pentium D950 (same motherboard, Intel D965WH, installed as 64 bit returns two
core processors (and I think, 2 siblings)

Comment 1 J 2006-10-30 16:42:48 UTC
It ocurred to me that I should also add this:
Per Intel, I am booting the board with the flags: ALL-GENERIC-IDE PCI=NOMMCONF
Since I have no idea what the second one does, I figured I'd mention it.

Comment 2 J 2006-10-30 23:09:34 UTC
The BIOS has a setting to force the processor into single processor mode. 
Unfortunately, it's wording is a little confusing: "Enable single processor
mode" "disabled" is the setting to get dual processing power from it.
