centos 3.4 with cpanel

[s_2_s]

the DC put a cpu 2.5 GHZ intel pentium for on a new server with cpanel
under server info cpanel says

Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
Processor #1 speed: 1900.118 MHz
Processor #1 cache size: 512 KB



checking var/log/messages it says

Jan 26 23:55:41 localhost kernel: CPU 0 (0x0000) enabledProcessor #0 Pentium 4(tm) XEON(tm) A (tm) APIC version 20

and then in same file of "var/log/messages"

Jan 26 23:55:41 localhost kernel: Intel MultiProcessor Specification v1.4

Jan 26 23:55:41 localhost kernel: 2 CPUs total

and then

Jan 26 23:55:41 localhost kernel: Initializing CPU#0
Jan 26 23:55:41 localhost kernel: Detected 1900.090 MHz processor.

and then

Jan 26 23:55:41 localhost kernel: CPU: Trace cache: 12K uops, L1 D cache: 8K
Jan 26 23:55:41 localhost kernel: CPU: L2 cache: 512K

[s_2_s]

anybody please
???
its the CPU mistake or OS mistake or cpanel mistake ??????

[gorilla]

shouldnt the processor speed be 2530 Mhz ?

Actually when you do the match 19x133mhz = 2527mhz
and you only got 19x100mhz=1900mhz
maybe its a hardware configuration mistake and they havent enabled FSB 133mhz for the ram ?

[s_2_s]

the DC keep telling its really 2.5 GHZ CPU and its either cpanel or os fault
and they offer me to pay more to get 2.8 CPU P4 or they would replace it by a regular 2.5 CPU for no extra money
so is it really cpanel fault or os fault
if so if i keep it like this would be any future problem like os/cpanel cannot use all the 2.5 GHZ avaialble cpu speed ?

[gorilla]

and cheap , crappy ram can limit FSB aswell (sdr pc100 ram, which is more then 5 years old)
so if you are running a p4 2.53 with pc100 ram that'll bring the performance to only 100x19(which is the set multiplier in this chip) = 1900 mhz

[s_2_s]

Current RAM is 1 GB dd ram
i also orderd a new 1 GB ram so i will get total of 2 GB ram
so whats teh problem then

why the var/log/message read the cpu as Xeon however its P4 ? ????
should i keep the cpu or replace it with less speed 2.4 P4 ?????
can they fix it without the need to go back to RH9 ??
please help em asap

anybody ?

[gorilla]

try this

cat /proc/cpuinfo ----List info about CPU.

and additional info!
/sbin/lspci ---- list all PCI devices (result of probe) Also lspci -vvx and cat /proc/pci
cat /proc/interrupts ----List IRQ's used by system.
cat /proc/ioports ----List I/O ports used by system.
cat /proc/dma ----List DMA channels and device used by system.

Maybe a google search would be a good idea for you as all this info is on the net

[gorilla]

ask them to change the ram and adjust the FSB to 133 , its not the software , its the hardware !
at least thats what i think, could be wrong though !

[chirpy]

It is almost definitely the hardware that is not setup correctly/faulty. As gorilla has pointed out, it looks like they have not configured your BIOS correctly.

What is certain is that it has absolutely nothing at all to do with cPanel and is highly unlikely to be an issue with RHE/CentOS. You should not pay anymore money as it is theyr configuration of the server that is at fault. If they won't fix it, I'd suggest that you go looking for a better datacentre.

[moorer]

I'm not sure about penitum processors, but I know with AMD and such, if you set the power mode to a certain criteria, it splits the processor in two to save power. Could be that also.

[gorilla]

the very questinonabel powersaving feature on AMD cpus has got nothing to do with the incorrect FSB (front side bus) configuration for his p4

[s_2_s]

SPECIAL THANKS to gorilla and to chirpy for their help
without their help my DC would have convined me its CentOS and cpanel issue or just to accept it as it is
they were able to fix it as they say the motherboard was not autodetect like all otehr P4 motherboards
i'm so thanksfull guys


RESPECTS to both of you


because of you my cpu now reads


Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
Processor #1 speed: 2533.443 MHz
Processor #1 cache size: 512 KB

good to here , happy to be of assistance
