RE: [Xen-devel] SMP on X86

["Kamble, Nitin A" <nitin.a.kamble@xxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,
   Xen Hypervisor by default is configured as SMP and also recognizes
SMT.
Dom0 kernel by default is UP and it needs to be rebuilt enabling SMP, to
get multiple threads in the dom0. The steps you described looks ok to
me.
   I am not very clear about your issue. Can you send this to understand
the issue better?
        1. native kernel dmesg (run with native linux kernel: dmesg)
        2. Xen console log: (run in dom0: xm dmesg)
        3. dom0 kernel dmesg (run in dom0: dmesg)

Thanks & Regards,
Nitin
