Is there a way to test whether a 2nd processor has actually started
or not from software running in multiuser mode? i.e: After the
machine has booted? Anyone written some code they willing to share?
Steve Passe and I (Steve doing all the work) have been working on
getting FreeBSD's SMP working on the Intel Xtended Xpress and bootup
indications (with extensive debug code, thanks to Steve) are that the
the 2nd CPU is not running. However, the OS is running at a load
average of '2', based on 2 CPUidle processes, which is making me
suspicious.
Thanks

PS: Is the SMP CVS repository on Freefall going to be updated with
the latest kernel patches? The SMP kernel stops 'ps' from
working, presumably due to recent additions to src/sys
in -current.
