Both configs have a device of apic, neither has the APIC_IO option. However, the other server is running 2 physical CPU's and I see 0 thru 3 in the C column in top. Also, dmesg shows CPU #1 Launched along with everything else: esmtp# dmesg|grep CPU CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (3010.67-MHz 686-class CPU) Logical CPUs per core: 2 FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0: on acpi0 acpi_throttle0: on cpu0 cpu1: on acpi0 SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! Why would I not see any other CPU numbers under top like I do in my other server? -- Robert
