The Redhat 9 drivers don't work and I can't seem to compile the Linux Source code drivers. Can someone help me compile these drivers on kernel 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL-i686 ? I am new to this and I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks Jeff From GWOJTAK at salliemae.com Wed Jun 1 01:43:25 2005 From: GWOJTAK at salliemae.com (GREG WOJTAK) Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 20:43:25 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] memory management on RHE3 Message-ID: The way I understand it (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), when a process launches, it allocates memory as it needs it. When it frees up memory either by calling free() or something equivalent, or by exiting, the memory is marked as free by the kernel but that it does not show up as free until the kernel needs to reallocate it again. So, using top or any other memory utilization tool will show that there is a lot less free memory than there really is. I'm sure there's a more elegant algorithm for the memory management, but I think this is the gist of why you never see your memory free up. Greg Wojtak Unix Systems Administrator Sallie Mae (317) 598-4058 >>> dczarkowski at infinitesource.ca 5/31/2005 2:26:31 PM >>> I have a problem with performance on RHE3 web server. Current Kernel is 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp Free -m shows: . total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 5897 5839 57 0 283 4653 -/+ buffers/cache: 902 4994 Swap: 12001 0 12001 Server is running postgresql-7.3.4, jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31 and java j2sdk1.4.2_08, apache 2 with mod_jk. There is also small ftp activity. JVM parameters used are TOMCAT_OPTS="-Xms1640m -Xmx2048m" When the server is rebooted, output of free shows about 500M used memory, when tomcat is started up it only takes/commits small amount of memory. After a few days however the free output is as above. I don't know where the rest of the memory is allocated, I am not sure how to trace what is using it. If you can not answer my questions can you tell me where can I find resources that would help me to troubleshoot my problems?

Users that require access to the kernel sources can find them in the kernel .src.rpm file. To create an exploded source tree from this file, perform the following steps (note that refers to the version specification for your currently-running kernel): 1. Obtain the kernel-.src.rpm file from one of the following sources: o The SRPMS directory on the appropriate "SRPMS" CD iso image o The FTP site where you got the kernel package o By running the following command: up2date --get-source kernel 2. Install kernel-.src.rpm (given the default RPM configuration, the files this package contains will be written to /usr/src/redhat/) 3. Change directory to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/, and issue the following command: rpmbuild -bp --target= kernel.spec (Where is the desired target architecture.) On a default RPM configuration, the kernel tree will be located in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/. 4. In resulting tree, the configurations for the specific kernels shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 are in the /configs/ directory. For example, the i686 SMP configuration file is named /configs/kernel--i686-smp.config. Issue the following command to place the desired configuration file in the proper place for building: cp ./.config 5. Issue the following command: make oldconfig Best Regards G?nter -- Dr. G?nter Schmidt | E-Mail: gsc at bruker.de NMR Software | Tel: +49 721 5161 443 Bruker BioSpin GmbH | Fax: +49 721 5161 480 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Following are the steps I used to create it: 1. Create a directory myapp_launcher in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/objects ? 2. cd myapp_launcher 3. Copy %gconf.xml file from web_browser_launcher directory cp ../web_browser_launcher/%gconf.xml . 4. Edit the %gconf.xml in myapp_launcher directory and replace the launcher location to: file:///usr/share/applications/myapp.desktop 5. Now, create myapp.desktop in /usr/share/applications [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Exec/path/to/command TryExec= Icon=/path/img.jpg X-GNOME-DocPath= Terminal=false Name=myapp GenericName=myapp Comment= 6. Add the following line below the web_browser_launcher line in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/general/%gconf.xml
  • myapp_launcher
    • That's all. The new users will have the custom icon in their toolbar!! This was very much essential for us since we create temporary accounts for our end users every week which are automatically deleted after two weeks. This works on gnome 2.2-- should work for 2.8 too... If anyone needs help, just drop me a line!!

From what I had read about TIME_WAIT socket states is a little confusing. I have been monitoring (netstat- ant) our tcp connections and would roughly see about an average of 1000 connections. Usually about 800-900ish were in the TIME_WAIT state. I have read a few times that reusing and enabling fast recycling of the TW sockets improves performance. Enabling reuse and recycling definitely reduce the number of total number of sockets I have but don't see how that can improve performance. After I changed the kernel settings (sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse=1 & sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle=1) I am seeing about a 250 connections (netstat -ant|wc) and about an average of 95 stuck in the TIME_WAIT socket. Since the TIME_WAIT socket is the state after the server's FIN and user's last ACK what performance can this give. Doesn't this just give me the possibility of handling more connections? Since the socket is suppose to stay in TIME_WAIT for twice the Maximum Segment Lifetime or 240secs, what does setting the reuse and recycling end up setting the 2MSL time to? Zero? Couldn't this mean that the user might not get all the data they requested or their data could be mixed up with another request? http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-antispoof-01.txt The 4th answer to the TIME_WAIT socket question regards /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ tcp_max_tw_buckets, should people leave this alone? Isn't this the setting that helps prevent DDOS attacks? Wouldn't changing it just open you back up to DDOS? Sorry for all the questions but I am still unclear on how this is actually improving my TCP performance, if it is safe to do and isn't it just giving me the ability to handle more connections..

IMHO, hugemem (with the 4/4 memory split) is only to be used if you absolutely require ~4GB (3.7 GB I think) of memory heaps for your app. I may be using the wrong terms, but they're close enough.

I am running a RedHat ES 3.0 server. I have a tape drive that was connected to an Adaptec card, but the card went south so I plugged the cable into the on-board SCSI adapter which is an LSI chip. Since the on-board adapter was not enabled at installation time (bad motherboard), the drivers were not installed. Since I have enabled the LSI (replaced the MB yesterday), I cannot get the kernel to load the drivers automatically. I downloaded the newest set from both IBM (it's an x345 box) and LSI. The drivers come with an RPM that I installed, but that simply loaded the drivers into the /tmp/mptlinix~~~ directory. So, I looked for a compatible set of drivers (it loaded 43 different versions) but didn't find one for the kernel I am using (2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp) Failing that, I copied what looked to be the closest version, 2.4.21-15.ELsmp, into the /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/message/fusion directory, after making a copy of course, and insmod-ded the mpt drivers. The drivers loaded, but complained about being the wrong kernel version and so loaded them as tainted. Since that failed, I went back to the drivers that were in the /lib/modules tree to start with, and manually loaded them. That worked, but they are gone after a reboot. So, for now I run a script at boot up to modprobe both the mptscsih and st modules. I guess I'm not sure how to get modules to load automatically. I have the following in my /etc/modules.conf: alias eth0 e1000 alias eth1 e1000 alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300 alias usb-controller usb-ohci alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih In the past I was only able to get the correct drivers from a clean installation.

This was to be able to use the dual-head option. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work faithfully. One monitor is a Sony 200SX, the other a Dell e773c. I tried with an ATI 9200 alone using both outputs, I tried with an ATI 9600 alone using both outputs and I tried with both of them in the machine. sometimes, it will give me the option, but most of the time I get the same thing on both monitors. It also doesn't seem to care what I assign to what, as it always chooses the Sony over the Dell for primary monitor. So far, I have spent more time than I would like to on this. Does anyone know what I am missing?

The boxes become completely unresponsive and have to be power cycled to bring them back up. This only happens during backups and the server gives no warnings/alerts or info in the messages files about what happened - just looks like the server was running fine and then stops cold until power cycled. It looks like the server is running out of processes/threads/open somethings - we can't figure it out (we thought maybe it was caused by some locked files, but we have Netbackup skipping locked files now and the crashes continue). Any help or insight (like where else to look for clues to the cause) would be appreciated.

The RAID implementation of promise cards is a software solution, no different than the LINUX native RAID stuff... You're not getting any hardware RAID computation offload. The only advantage of using the promise stuff is that when the system boots, the BIOS can play some games to determine if a disk is dead and automatically boot the alternate disk. Please correct me if I'm wrong... The last time I looked at promise was a while ago. I chose to turn off the RAID features and simply use the device as a normal disk interface (using Linux RAID instead). Now I am not dependant on kernel updates and driver compatibility. That's a BIG deal in my opinion. Are my opinions/impressions of the Promise stuff out of line?

I know what you're going to say: "CPAN installed the module, so how could it not be a default path?" My simple answer: "I dunno."

Following are the steps I used to create it: 1. Create a directory myapp_launcher in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/obj ects 2. cd myapp_launcher 3. Copy %gconf.xml file from web_browser_launcher directory cp ../web_browser_launcher/%gconf.xml . 4. Edit the %gconf.xml in myapp_launcher directory and replace the launcher location to: file:///usr/share/applications/myapp.desktop 5. Now, create myapp.desktop in /usr/share/applications [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Exec/path/to/command TryExec= Icon=/path/img.jpg X-GNOME-DocPath= Terminal=false Name=myapp GenericName=myapp Comment= 6. Add the following line below the web_browser_launcher line in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/gen eral/%gconf.xml
  • myapp_launcher
    • That's all. The new users will have the custom icon in their toolbar!! This was very much essential for us since we create temporary accounts for our end users every week which are automatically deleted after two weeks. This works on gnome 2.2-- should work for 2.8 too... If anyone needs help, just drop me a line!!

After installing RHEL 4 on monty, I mount the nfs server(python:/backup) and then try to copy over tarred directories from the newly mounted /backup. The directory is 34 GB and is tarred into a single .tar file. When I try to untar the directory/files to the / partition, it freezes and stops copying files ove. Here's what I do cd / tar -xf /backups/files.tar Any idea if there is a size limit to untarring files on an NFS mount? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Start on the machine where the tar-file (or the actual data) is and do something like this ( a one-liner!! ) cat large_file.tar | ( rsh targetmachine '( cd /path/to/target; tar xvf - ) ' ) You can use `ssh` in place of `rsh`, most current systems donnot allow rsh and have ssh available by default. If you like to pick the source, not the tarfile, the command is: tar cvf - . | ( ssh targetmachine '( cd /path/to/target; tar xvf - ) ' ) btw, in the above examples, tar has no limit to the amount of data since it does not write to (nor read from) a sinlge large file, it uses a stream of data. It also does not use the nfs filesystem, avoiding file-size limits there too.

I don't know of any .mil domain up2date servers. You might consider creating your own. If it's fedora, there's good stuff online about creating a mirror of an apt or yum based up2date server. It's not hard, and I suspect there are a lot of us who'd be eager to help those like you who defend us. If it's Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the only official up2date servers are maintained by Red Hat... though they support a Satellite service which allows you to mirror and maintain your own. There are also workarounds which can allow you to download the update packages (and add the install packages) and maintain your own mirror (assuming that the workstations you support have proper subscriptions). Don't know if it's of any use, but there are a couple of .gov fedora update servers listed at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html.

Message-ID: <42A84BB0.5030404@surfnet.nl> Hi, We're starting to have more and more RH systems, and the thing I always find frustrating is the download-speeds I get with up2date. (I'm used to fast downloads for about everything else ;-)) Since I cannot use another public mirror (since there are none?) with RH, I wonder if it's possible to create my own. I know there is something like the RHN proxy server (and sattelite), but as far as I know they have some strange requirements (2.1 box) and cost a vast amount of money that I don't want to spend on this. Is it possible to just have the RPMs I need downloaded, or cached or something and updated via yum or up2date somehow? For example: I only get ~70-90 k/sec at this moment, and the update after my AS 3 U3 installation takes for about half an hour :-( (The iso image download isn't fast either btw, that's why I didn't download newer iso's.) Paul P.S. I almost wonder if something like centos or xos linux wouldn't be better; the updates are at least provided with a different mechanism and I can use a local mirror for that (even one that is on our backbone :-)).

Message-ID: Paul, I use yum and set up a repository on an apache server. I compiled yum from sources. The only trick was using the -DESTDIR=/ switch when running configure. Off the top of my head I can't remember where I got createrepo but it's in the yum docs somewhere. Once it's all set up you just have to set one of your machines to just download and not install when running up2date then copy the rpm's out of the spool directory to your repo update directory and run createrepo. Run yum update on each of the client machines and then "up2date -p" or just wait a few hours for rhn to update. It's not fully automated but I like to know what's being updated when anyway and it doesn't take much effort.

If it's something that's intensely I/O related (check top and see if kswapd is being sucked up) then you should probably set it higher. vm.pagecache=10 25 50 This will lower the pagecache max to conserve low memory. Just to let you know that RHEL3 has a major problem with the bounce-buffering phenomenon. I had this problem when running an scp process between two servers across the same Gigabit network link. The process was copying over 600 GB of data (ove ra hundred thousand files) and the whole process took FOUR DAYS! I tried to get Red Hat to fess up to the problem but they denied it. In the end, the next kernel up2date solved the problem. If you want, I can attach the RHEL virtual memory manual.

One solution to speed up downloads is to do it for one system only. And mark in up2date-config not to delete the binary packages. Export the download directory, mount it on all other redhat systems and configure those systems to use the mounted directory. Now the up2date will only download the header files and not the rpm files again. I have setup on the master machine a cron job at 4:00 with /usr/sbin/up2date-nox --update --install and whenever I start 'up2date' interactive the files are already present.

I believe they are up to 9.2.0.6 for security issues, maybe even 9.2.0.7 is released, any day now, I'm sure. In general, I found that 10g was much more reasonable on rh3 and rh4. 9i seemed quite a mess on rh, imho.

I don't know of any .mil domain up2date servers. You might consider creating your own. If it's fedora, there's good stuff online about creating a mirror of an apt or yum based up2date server. It's not hard, and I suspect there are a lot of us who'd be eager to help those like you who defend us. If it's Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the only official up2date servers are maintained by Red Hat... though they support a Satellite service which allows you to mirror and maintain your own. There are also workarounds which can allow you to download the update packages (and add the install packages) and maintain your own mirror (assuming that the workstations you support have proper subscriptions). Don't know if it's of any use, but there are a couple of .gov fedora update servers listed at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html.

You can choose not to run scripts by giving rpm the --noscripts option. I'm not entirely sure what the $1 below refers to. I do know that just about every time I update bind, it has done the wrong thing, both stopping the service and removing it with chkconfig. So I'd test it if I were you.

Monday morning From Christoph.Doerbeck at FMR.COM Sat Jun 11 12:00:29 2005 From: Christoph.Doerbeck at FMR.COM (Doerbeck, Christoph) Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2005 08:00:29 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] shutdown services when upgrading Message-ID: $1 is a shell command line argument which you can test in the script areas of the rpm to determine how many copies of the rpm will remain at the completion of the install/removal. Here is a comment that I stick into all the rpms I develop. I make VERY heavy use of this. ## ## test $1 to determine what to do on ## $1 = 0 means full package erase (0 versions left) ## $1 = 1 means upgrade (1 version still installed after this erase) ## So for example, it's a mechanism to determine from within your rpm, if this is an upgrade (rpm -U) or a erase (rpm -e). This is important when considering that a package removal runs %postun scripts AFTER the new package has already been installed. You don't want it to go removing things the new package needs. Hope that helps.

I have 2 questions: 1) There doesn't seem to be routines for manipulating activation keys. For example, creating an activation key, deleting an activation key, list all the systems activated by a specified key. Unfortunately, we are using activation keys for granting a large number of users use of RHEL licenses (We have an academic site license). Am I missing something here? I looked through the api at https://rhn.redhat.com/rpc/api and couldn't find anything. 2) I tried deleting a user using "user.delete" and got a "permission_check_failure". This is a sub-account that I created. Why can't I delete it using XMLRPC (or the RHN web interface for that matter)? Thanks.

I looked through the api at > https://rhn.redhat.com/rpc/api and couldn't find anything. I feel your pain using the web interface to do these tasks. As I understand the current state of the API there is no support for several common tasks that you will want including activation key manipulation. There was a hint at the Red Hat Summit that a new version of the API is in the pipeline and should arrive fairly soon. No hint about whether the features I want (which are surely the features you want as I'm doing the same thing you are with an academic site license) will be included though. > 2) I tried deleting a user using "user.delete" and got a > "permission_check_failure". This is a sub-account that I created. Why > can't I delete it using XMLRPC (or the RHN web interface for that matter)? Good question. I read somewhere that currently you must request that someone at Red Hat delete accounts on your behalf. That is rather inconvenient. It would be nice if we could fully manage, including deletion, of accounts we create.

Using this really speeds things up again :-) I tried both updating with yum, but also with up2date itself (which requires yum-arch instead of createrepo on the mirror server I found out) using a yum section in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources. Problem is though, that if I keep my "up2date default"-statement it will ignore the packages on my local repository, and just contact the RHN for downloading the rpms. If I remove this, the files are fetched from my local server, but I cannot issue up2date -p then. Is there a way to have both? Or is it best just to have yum doing the updates and up2date doing the up2date -p ? > Once it's all set up you just have to set one of your machines to just >download and not install when running up2date then copy the rpm's out of the >spool directory to your repo update directory and run createrepo.

When I run make in /var/yp on the master it tries to push to the slave, but times out. When I turn the firewalls off, I am able to push with no problem. So I ran tcpdump on the slave and tried 'yppush group.byname' on the master.

We have implemented Oracle Applications ERP . We have a peculiar problem for backing up our data. We have connected DLT Tape Drive VS80 40/80GB ( Tandberg) capacity with SCSI Adaptec Card. When we initiate backup command as follows: dump of /dev/st0 /data/erpp where /dev/st0 denotes the device for tape drive and /data/erpp is the partition in which oracle apps has been installed. The timing for backing up 63GB data and files , it takes 18 hours for completion. We had replaced the SCSI adaptec card , Tape Drive and cable but still it gives same timing. The same process we had tried from a desktop by applying latest SCSI drivers and initiated the backup , it took 12 minutes for 2 GB of data. We had applied latest driver for Linux but still it shows the same timing. I need to know any other parameters needs to be configured under Linux.

I may be a little out of date but linux dump was not recommended the last time I looked. I would recommend using cpio or tar for simple backups. I would try to determine if it is the disk access of tape access giving problems. Have you tried backing up to /dev/null. You could also benchmark your disk systems using something like iozone (google it).

My system has RAID5 include 3*146G disks. I added 2 disks to RAID5. I wanted to create a new partition with fdisk, but it said "No free sectors available". When I give "v" command in fdisk utility, it said "573023167 unallocated sectors".But i couldn' t create a new partition with fdisk utility. Any suggestion.

There are a couple of things that you can try: 1. Re-install the boot loader. grub-install /dev/sda 2. Compare your file labels with /etc/fstab Boot up with the rescue disk (linux rescue) cat /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 e2label /dev/sda1 / If the labels don't match, then the kernel cannot mount the / partition. From your description, I don't think that this is the problem, but is one area to check. Alfred Hovdestad LONNIE TROTTER wrote: > I'm sorry.

It should be in streaming mode: the data should feed as fast (faster than) the tape can hanlde so the tape does not need to wait for data. Listen to the drive while doing the backup, I bet it is spinning forward and backward all the time. Get a better backup tool that can dump data to tape with the tape in streaming mode. You can also twiggle with the compression. Disable the hardware compression and see if the tape now gets streaming. If you need compression (for the size) try software compressing (`compress`, `gzip`, `bzip2` or such).

I use growisofs for backup: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=backup.iso where backup.iso is a premastered iso file generated with mkisofs. I use cron to run growisofs command, but I see the next error: "FATAL: /dev/dvd already carries isofs!" I have read about it in growisofs help, an it says: "If the media already carries isofs and growisofs is invoked with -Z option non-interactively, e.g. through cron, it shall fail with FATAL: /dev/dvd already carries isofs!" Note that only ISO9660 is recognized, you can perfectly zap e.g. an UDF filesystem non-interactively." and then, how can I do it. I use rewritable dvd for backup, and then, It already carries isofs because I re-use the rw-dvd. Thanks.

You could then run a script to parse the passwd file and create a user home directory when the UID > 500 (or what ever). I have a really crude script to do this within kickstart, but it needs more thought so the environment gets setup per user as well. Eg, #create sys admin home directories and stop them ftp'ing in for name in `cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd` do if [ `id -u $name` -gt 499 ] then mkdir /home/$name /bin/chown -R $name:$name /home/$name /bin/chmod 0700 /home/$name echo $name >> /etc/ftpusers fi done echo "finished setting up sys admins" regards Thing -----Original Message----- From: Todd Richmond [mailto:trichmon at eou.edu] Sent: Friday, 24 June 2005 1:03 p.m. To: rhn-users at redhat.com Subject: [rhn-users] account migration to RH Im trying to find a straight foward way to migrate about 6000 accounts from solaris 7 and 8 to new machines running Redhat Enterprise 3.

Is there anyone, who know whether the 64-bit RedHat has updated libraries for 64-bit platform ??? Is there any other way to get the real, user and sys timings for an application ???.

I set up apache on one linux box. Copy all the rpm files from the latest base distribution into the "base" directory and copy any update rpm files into the update directory. Run "createrepo ./" from http://linux.duke.edu/projects/metadata/generate/ in each of the directories to generate the metadata. Install yum on each of the linux clients and point the /etc/yum.conf to my apache server. I can either run "yum update" periodically or manually. (note the only trick to compiling yum was to "make DESTDIR=/") This gives me the flexibility I need. I can create more than one repo if I want to test things on development boxes before putting into production or I can leave out rpms that I know cause trouble. For example, the latest apache update caused problems for my tomcat servers so I just leave the httpd update rpm out of my repo.

Message-ID: Yes, it's available for download from IBM. There is a commandline tool called ipssend and/or the java GUI interface called RaidMan. Both can be found on the downloadable ISO. I've had problems with RaidMan on Fedora C3 (locking up the system), but I don't do much management with that system so it's not a problem for me. The tools have worked fine on RH7.2 thru RHEL3. I haven't had much experience with the absolute latest ServeRaid cards which I believe are for SAS drives, but I believe them to use the same tools.

Roughly but the original question asked about the update level, which is explicitly stated in /etc/redhat-release in RHEL3 and RHEL4. I don't see how you extract the update level from doing rpm -q or its variations on the redhat-release package. Perhaps it is hidden in there somewhere, but I don't see it. I think it is pretty hard to improve on looking in a one line file that contains the information requested. BTW: how can this be determined on RHEL2.1? /etc/redhat-release does not contain the update level there ...

I've setup netdumps, etc., and seem to point out to auditd. I've disabled auditd on production machines running RedHat AS3. RedHat AS3 (Update 4) has some other issues, in addition of auditd. Since there are several admins personnels, I've to discuss w/ them for the updates so as to get all the systems to the latest 5th update. It's a bit annoying to see kernel panic that often. An update seems necessary to me. I used Slack at home. I've compiled many versions of kernel. I've tried out 3rd party patches at home. All work fine w/ IDE, SCSI, network card, etc. None of them panics like RedHat AS. The work environment decides to go w/ RedHat (for the advertised support from IBM, etc.). On a test machine, I've just installed RedHAt AS4 (w/ SELinux) Update 1 on a dual CPU machine. It detected both CPUs, but somehow, it failed to use both CPUs. I've searched bugzilla on RedHat AS4 on the matter and didn't find anything (perhaps I need to search deeper?). # uname -r 2.6.9-11.ELsmp dmesg | grep -i cpu: ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1) ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports C1) x86info v1.13.
