Mar 22 16:59:56 creosote kernel: SMP: AP CPU #2 Launched! --------------------8<--------------------8<-------------------- A couple of considerations insipired by a blunt keyword matching of the forementioned logs: - as far as I know I don't run any process in jail. Jls in fact doesn't report anything - if I remember well the day when I prepared this system, the only bleeding-edge technology it's using is gmirror. Is there any way I could gather more clues about this problem? Thanks in advance. --=20 walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.de
