[Solved] Amd64 only one core reading

jduped · 2009-06-25 04:45:53

I'm installing arch on another computer...

I have a duel core processor and only one is showing up...

I had debian and centos installed on this box prior with out any issues.

Any ideas?

I found this on the end of a dmesg...

I played with cpu scaling and ended up fixing the issue.

adding the following to /etc/rc.conf

MODULES=(... powernow-k8 cpufreq_ondemand...)

DAEMONS=(...cpufreq...)

after a reboot showed...

My CPU is:

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+

I can't seem to find the right cpufreq module to load.

Any ideas? Thanks

Don't hijack other people's topics dwende... Normally the modules the OP specified should fix it for you.

Arch Linux
