Description of problem: After upgrade to F9 of my DomU guest there is only one virtual processor found in this machine. I can't increase number of CPUs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Dom0: kernel-xen-2.6.21.7-5.fc8 xen-3.1.2-2.fc8 Domu: kernel-xen-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot F9 with latest updates and set "cpus = 2" or more 2. see output of: xm list Actual results: Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 2145 8 r----- 181.6 builder 7 2048 1 r----- 81.3 Expected results: Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 2145 8 r----- 181.6 builder 7 2048 8 r----- 81.3 ^^^^ - 8 here is OK Additional info: With kernel from F8 (2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen) all CPUs are OK. You also can try to increase number of CPUs by running: xm vcpu-set builder 8 without effect, no error is raised, but nothing is changed. And also output of /proc/cpuinfo on guest contains only one processor.
Yep, a known issue with the F9 x86_64 Xen guest support - fixed for F10, but fairly unlikely to be fixed in an F9 update *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 451170 ***
