The above would probably reply:
I was much more concerned about GKrellM that I routinely use to monitor CPU usage (among other things). I used inxi just to confirm a single core was being reported.
/sys/devices/system/cpu/ is a directory that lists files but doesn't return any numerics.
However, I solved the problem. I was using the wrong kernel for an AMD multicore processor, 3.2.0-3-486 instead of 3.2.0.3-amd64. Everything is working correctly now.
Before
Code: Select all
guest@mintde ~ $ inxi -FA
System: Host mintde Kernel 3.2.0-3-486 i686 (32 bit) Distro Linux Mint Debian Edition
CPU: Single core AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (-UP-) cache 512 KB flags (lm nx sse sse2 sse3) bmips 2003.95 clocked at 1000.00 MHz
After
Code: Select all
guest@mintde ~ $ inxi -FA
System: Host mintde Kernel 3.2.0-3-amd64 x86_64 (64 bit) Distro Linux Mint Debian Edition
CPU: Dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (-MCP-) cache 1024 KB flags (lm nx sse sse2 sse3) bmips 4008.24
Clock Speeds: (1) 1000.00 MHz (2) 1000.00 MHz
Thanks for the suggestions which did lead me to the solution.
