I'm running RH Enterprise-AS, kernel version is 2.4.21-27.ELsmp. According to the SETI web-site, BOINC is properly recognizing the processor type and quantity...see the page for this system:
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=670781

I really doubt it has anything to do with the kernel, any defect in the core of the system would certainly show in other aspects. I may have to try compiling the entire BOINC/SETI package myself when I get a chance...

=> I have my preferences set to allow up to 8 processors, because I have a few 4-way Xeon systems which appear as 8 processors to BOINC.

On my windows machines there are multiple instances of SETI_4.09 running - one per processor, as expected. On my RedHat Enterprise systems (2.4.21-27.EL), however, only one instance of the SETI_4.09 module is initializing, even though they are dual processor machines.

Also, I notice that the throughput of the Linux client is only about 2/3rds of the Win32 client on identical hardware (dual-boot machine). Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Running boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux under RHAS-3-SMP. System is a dual P3, and I have already added boinc to my /etc/rc.d/init.d so it runs as a daemon.

I want to thread one instance through each processor like I did with SETI classic, but the documentation is rather sparse. Someone has got to be doing it already - - - any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
