Hi there,

I just installed 5.5 for the first time and I am trying to make sure 
that SMP is operating properly.  The kernel I have loaded is rebuilt 
with SMP support.  okay the dmesg is showing two logical CPUs.  I 
actually only have one CPU as you can tell by the boot information.  I 
am wondering why top is always displaying '0' in the C column?  on my 
4.11 machines that number is set to 0 or 1 depending on the logical CPU 
that is accessed.

cheers,
