Top doesn't display properly

[Bradley Tate]

Hi,

For some reason 'top' isn't displaying a particular application 
correctly. The box is adual Opteron 64 bit server running an up-to-date 
FC2.

On the normal Processor display under top Firebird 1.5 (32 bit database) 
doesn't show up at all. If I shift-M to display memory a single entry 
appears at the top of the list. I can see it with 'ps', and even while 
CPU activity is at 98% and I know it's Firebird doing it there is 
nothing on the top screen to indicate it exists.

It shows up fine on another similar box running Suse 9.1, i.e. 2.6 
kernel. FWIW I pulled top down to the FC2 box from Suse and it made no 
difference.

Has anybody got any good ideas how I can approach/fix this?? I'd install 
Suse but it hates something about the SATA configuration on my hardware 
and won't install cleanly.

Thanks,
Bradley.
