Hi, it's on a dom0.
processor is:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5410  @ 2.33GHz

I have another server (not a xen kernel) which show 4 "cpu core". see below:

But this server runs a NON xen kernel. Both CPU's are quadcore.
That's why I'm  curious :)
Why with a normal kernel sees 4 cores and witn a xen kernel only one?
Same OS, almost same CPU (E5410-XEN_dom0 and E5420-NOT_XEN_SERVER)??

Israel.
