Lost 2 cores?

  • Quote

Post by tripxie » Mon Nov 13, 2006 4:19 pm

I have a server with 2 X Xeon dualcore cpus.
And i just noticed that 2 of the cores seem to be gone?
The cat /proc/cpuinfo below makes me kinda confused also scince i cant get the physical id / siblings / cpu id / cpu cores to match with what i think they shuld be.
Core id 0 on the first one
Core id 3 on the last one
Shuld Core id not be 2 on the last one, if it just lost the extra cores?

Im guessing some error in how i configured my kernel but i dont understand what i culd be missing?

thats weird, maybe you have to enable CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP or set CONFIG_NR_CPUS to 32 to be on the save side

else i dont know
