What's confusing to you? Your top output looks normal to me for an SMP machine. It appears from the output below that your processor is running ~95% idle. Keep in mind that when you first start top it takes a few seconds to display any values. > Well my guess about the load is as bad as you think - pure guess, because > that is about what I used to see when it was running on a single > processor.

How do I rectify the situation in case I have > a version mismatch? I doubt you have a version mismatch. If you did, it would be caused by upgrading your system, then building/installing either a new world, or new kernel - one but not the other. If you still suspect a version mismatch, the easiest way is to rebuild/reinstall both the world and the kernel. This will insure that your versions match. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
