I've been for a long time witnessing this rather strange behaviour without ever figuring out how it would happen. I'm using a DELL laptop (Latitude XP) with broken APM and a very recent stable FreeBSD. Mergemaster is ran at each build/installworld and the kernel is compiled after installworld (all made while in single user mode). From time to time, at reboot, top and various CPU-utilization tools based on libkvm simply stop to work properly, while other figures about the load average and so, can still be displayed appropriately. I would say that i get this CPU disappearing thing 9 times out of ten. I can reboot without doing anything on the system, and it will reappear until the next reboot ... I've been going through a lot of research without ever catching it ... Rebuild libkvm ? nope. kvm_updatedb ? (seems out of date ? it's not in the rc scripts anymore ...) nope. I really feel dumb ... Did any of you go into that ? I could really live without it, but i don't like having tools that i can't use without any real clue about why ...
