You are right, I think it works fine, it's just that the CPU utilization (and maybe process priorities) are different than under my old 2.1.121 kernel. Incidentally, I can't get xosview to work any more either, but /proc/cpuinfo does show 2 processors and I can get the CPU utilization to go up to 100% if I really try. Anyway, I guess I was just confused. > Interestingly some months back when i went SMP top showed 200% for a while > :).
