Multiple cores

Hello everyone!

Please explain to me should I build any specific kernel to make my FreeBSD 8.2 see the second processor core?

Thank you in advance,

Michael
 
The default GENERIC kernel already has support for SMP.
 
But is it normal to have
Code: 
kern.smp.active = 1
and
Code: 
kern.smp.cpus = 2
at the same time?
 
Yes.

Code: 
kern.smp.active = 1

This means simply, that SMP is active, it's not number of active CPUs.

Code: 
kern.smp.cpus = 2

This is number of active CPUs.
