vmware issues

Post by hootis »

The problem = when i run the linux smp it only starts with 1 core, however i have enabled the vmware player to use 4 cores, the first time i started the client it ran fine(with 4 cores). when i tried to restart it only 1 core is used.(also not sure if this is an issue but when i was useing the normal windows smp my gpu did't use more than 1%cpu but in the vm it uses 4-10% could this be fixed as well)

[FIXED]

I guess you forget the -smp switch when starting your Linux client ...
