Hi.

Do anyone know how to figure out the physical number of cpus in an ia64=20
system?  No, /proc/cpuinfo wont do because the kernel is booted with=20
maxcpus=3D1.

When installing RH EL the install kernel is booted with maxcpus=3D1 and I n=
eed=20
to figure out the physical number of cpus in the system for later use in th=
e=20
software setup.  I need to be able to get this from userspace.

Any hints is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
r.
