You should try rebooting again and seeing if the message comes up again. Also, check /proc/cpuinfo for 2 CPU entries. I suspect if the kernel doesn't see 2, then there's something seriously wrong (assuming you have an SMP enabled kernel). You probably /won't/ notice a change in performance if one of your cpus dies, unless you do some serious multi-tasking (ie, having a cpu intensive process in the bg, while running a gui or some such). As a final resort, pray to the Intel/AMD gods :) -Gabe _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
