hp netserver LH3 2x p2 350 mhz, in previous redhat 9, everything was fine.

now in linspire
control panel-advanced settings-information-processor, linspire only see just the processor 0

anybody knows how to find out if my second processor its being used ??
I assure both processors its working, but I'm not assure that my other half of brain works too

just a guess - does the kernel support multi-processor architecture? if not, then you have to do something about it, like build your own/recompile..

hmm I believed all the linux kernels support dual processors....
My version is Linspire 4.5.439
about the kernel compile, ...I don't want United States to hunting me for givin them the new formula of a better atomic bomb wich
I may have 'compiled' I'm new in linux

thanx

As far as I know all Linux kernels support multiple CPUs, well except for the really really old ones when they first started coming out. I'm not 100% sure with Linspire but this is generally how it is done.

Using arrow keys, look for the option "Processor type and features" and hit enter, new screen should come up. Look for something like this:

Put a little * next to it. Then compile your kernel. For 2.6 kernels, it is make all && make modules_install. Then copy it over. Update lilo if you use lilo. It's been a while since I did a 2.4. I think it is make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install. Then copy it over, update lilo if needed.

That should get you off to a start. I'm not sure if Linspire uses the same file scructure as plain Linux. It should but who knows. You do know there is a forum for Linspire right? here.

I don't think anybody will be coming to look for you, unless you do plan to make a atomic bomb. Not a good idea anyway. May get exposed to radiation or something.

I'm not a Linspire fan, but it has to be better than windoze. Just like Mandrake, got to get your feet wet with something.

Hope that helps. If you need more links to help you learn Linux, let me know.

Later

yes, I (again) forgot to tell exactly what I meant; linux (the newer and quite new and almost new and so on) kernels do handle multi-processor support (I don't know about the older ones but anyway), but my checking point was that is it enabled in your kernel? just like dalek said, roll down to your sources and check out.
