I am running Fedora Core 8 w/ all the updates installed. The kernel

for about 2 months. I don't know just when, but in last week, the
kernel sees only 1 of my 2 cores. I know i have run quite some time
w/ 2 cores. I am not sure if this is related to some SW update or a
bios problem (i loaded "defaults" in bios) or can the CPU actually
break and be left w/ just 1 core? I do see a msg at start up, at very
start, that says:
i8042c: can not read CTR when initializing i8042.
Thats a keyboard handling emulation bug in the BIOS, unrelated. Go into
the BIOS and turn off USB legacy emulation. However I don't think its
anything to do with your vanishing core
