Nick, could you try the latest kernel from

http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5/

P.

Comment 2 Nick 2008-12-03 13:28:20 UTC
I test the kernels from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5/
from 120 to 125

It has the same problem only 1 CPU can be seen

Comment 3 Nick 2009-01-16 19:01:58 UTC
It solved the problem by a BIOS update with the fist kernel 2.6.18-92.el5
