Re: [Xen-users] kernel-xen can not recognize more than 32 cores
 
Hi
 
I've installed xen hypervisor 3.0.3 on CentOS 5.5 from CentOS repository.
The hardware I use is a Tyan server with 48 cores( 4*12-cores processors ).
The original CentOS kernel 2.6.18.194 can recognize 48 cores perfectly, but
when I switch to another kernel to use xen, the kernel recognize only 32
cores!
 
 
 
 What do you mean by "another kernel" there - CentOS 5.5 supply a -xen 
kernel themselves, no?
 And just to check, your "new" kernel is compiled for 64 bit, and not 32 
bit - 'uname -i' outputs x86_64 - as 32 bit kernel cannot use more than 32 
CPUs.
 Last, I beleive the 3.0.3 version is a bit misleading, as CentOS follow 
RedHat and RedHat's xen 3.0.3 will likely have a lot of patches applied to 
it and be some way on from a vanilla Xen 3.0.3.  Check the src.rpm for 
this.
