Hello, No matter what load is for the server, every process in "top" shows 0.0 %CPU usage. For example: Anyone have any idea what is wrong? Server is running "CENTOS 5.6 i686 standard" 2.6.35.12-23 #1 SMP Thanks. EDIT: Yes, I am definately sorting by CPU%. I start top using "top -c".

Hi Have you tried using the default Kernel for Centos 5.x ? it could be that your vanilla Kernel is missing something. other than that I have never seen anything like this before. Good luck

You need to start top and then press the upper case letter P. -c is for command line toggle. Regards Joe / UNIXY

That doesn't work either. (Also, I am running from command line...)

Yes. It should be related to the kernel. Please update or recompile your kernel.
