[SOLVED] Second CPU not detected

[mimosa]

Did you also install kernel-modules-smp (whatever exactly it is called)?

Code: Select all

vanilla[~]$ ls /var/log/packages/ | grep modules
kernel-modules-2.6.37.6-i486-2
kernel-modules-smp-2.6.37.6_smp-i686-2

EDIT

Btw, did you try using inxi -C (or some other app) to have a look at your cpu? There's also lshw (slapt-src -u && slapt-src -i lshw && lshw -X) if you prefer a GUI. Because all this with the kernel is just a test. It's extremeley odd that the wrong kernel should have been installed. So maybe it wasn't.

How exactly did you install it? Did you burn a CD, or did you write the iso image to a usb stick?

I installed it from a usb stick, created using unetbootin as I read somewhere here on this forum.

And

Code: Select all

ls /lib/modules/
2.6.37.6  2.6.37.6-smp

Maybe is the kernel modules as mimosa mentioned:

Code: Select all

# ls /var/log/packages/ | grep modules
kernel-modules-2.6.37.6-i486-2

I'll install the modules and try again, I will report the results later

Yes! That was the problem, the modules.

Now its working and it can be seen even in how much faster is now this linux, in matter of seconds it booted up. Awesome
Now that I see, slackware based distros is really diferent of what Im used to. I will learn the differences slowly and thank you guys who helped me, I really appreciate this.
