yes, just run the famous mptable program. If the machine is SMP then it will have a valid Intel MP 1.4 configuration tables so the program will show meaningful output. Regards, Tigran On Tue, 20 Feb 2001, Burton Windle wrote: > Hello. Is there a way, when running a non-SMP kernel, to detect or

Detecting SMP

2001-02-20 Thread Burton Windle
Hello. Is there a way, when running a non-SMP kernel, to detect or otherwise tell (software only; the machine is 2400 miles away) if the system has SMP capibilties? Would /proc/cpuinfo show two CPUs if the kernel is non-SMP? Thanks! (btw, the kernel in question is a stock RH6.2 kernel 2.2.14-5,
