Hello,
I have a weird problem:
When I boot Linux get 8 cores (hyper-threading so 4 real cores).
However if I boot using Xen, i only get 1 cpu core:xl info report: "nr_cpus:1 nr_cores: 1 cores_per_socket:1 threads_per_core: 1"
Laptop is a ThinkPad w520 with a i7-2860QM with EFI-bios enabled.
Anyone has any suggestions ?
Kind regards,
Killian De Volder

... indicates a problem that I would generally assume Linux has
as well (hence it'll be interesting to see how it manages to find
all 8 threads). Subsequently it may become necessary that you
dump and provide the ACPI tables of the system (assuming it
has ACPI, however broken it might be) and/or try out recent
-unstable code.
Btw., unless the log was from a PXE boot on a diskless system,
the two lines following "Disc information:" above indicate further
problems with your BIOS, so I wouldn't be surprised if the issue
you found is firmware related too.
