hi

we faced the problem in cpu sharing.
Basically we are running a simulation test in our environment
when we start simulation,
out of 2 cpus, one is overloaded(100.1%)
another one is Idle.(0.1%)

anybody faced the same problem,please help me in this regard.
and i found a patch for 2.4.17 kernel for the same purpose in the following link
