Xen project Mailing List

No one could help me on the other dist lists. Can anyone shed light on this?

Subject: AMD 64 X2 5200 - XEN only detects one core

I have an ACER AM3100-UD5200A which uses an AMD 64 X2 5200.

Xen only detects one of two cores

First I installed Fedora 8 + Xen that ships with the distro and found that only one core was detected when DOM0 booted. Out of frustration I decided to install CentOS 5.1 as a quick resolution to the problem, but found the same problem.

checking /proc/cpuinfo
there is only one core
