fedora 15 does not recognize dual 5600 xeon?

[hgi586]

In a fresh install on vmware player, the second processor is not recognized , cores are not all recognized either


cat /proc/cpuinfo lists processor 0 , 1,2,3 with the model name xeon x5650. Does not appear to recognize that there are 2 processors with each 6 cores?

i suspect a special configuration is required for the kernel. Can anyone help and point me in the right direction. Preferably already compiled , i can also compile the source if required.

if i get a new kernel, what part of the documentation do i need to read to replace the old one?

thanks

Henri

appears to be something with vmware. the live install recognizes the 12 processors correctly

On VMware, you configure the number of processors (and other hardware) seen by a guest OS. The default is 1.
