No. Please read the FAQ. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#TOP-FREEMEM > Also from 'top': > "CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle" > > Question, Does the 'GENERIC' kernel conf omit any cpu-monitoring options? If so, what should i do to remedy this? No, it doesn't. Most often, this is a problem of mismatched userland and kernel. I seem to recall a case where there was an actual bug in the relevant code, but that was fixed a while back.
