The kernel I have loaded is rebuilt with SMP support. okay the dmesg is showing two logical CPUs. I actually only have one CPU as you can tell by the boot information. I am wondering why top is always displaying '0' in the C column? on my 4.11 machines that number is set to 0 or 1 depending on the logical CPU that is accessed. --- snip ---- Aug 27 19:19:24 hurricane kernel: Hyperthreading: 2 logical CPUs Aug 27 19:19:24 hurricane kernel: real memory = 2145849344 (2046 MB) Aug 27 19:19:24 hurricane kernel: avail memory = 2094419968 (1997 MB) Aug 27 19:19:24 hurricane kernel: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CP Us Aug 27 19:19:24 hurricane kernel: cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 Aug 27 19:19:24 hurricane kernel: cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 ---- snip --- cheers, Noah
