For a long time I have gotten two pictures of Tux showing up when I
include the Tux display option in my custom kernel builds. I don't
know how many kernel revisions ago it was when I started noticing
this. It seems like it might have been early in the 2.6 series
kernels.

Try disabling these two above options.

Well, that means that I don't get Tux at all. The point is that only
one copy should be displayed.

I thought you had KMS enabled?? That provides a fbdev emulation layer.

Okay. I disabled those two options and still get the two Tuxes. I
gues Bruno's message is correct, and I get two Tuxes because I have an
Atom processor with two cores.

Oh! Well, that explains it. That is truly weird functionality. Is
Tux a de facto
CPU presence indicator? It doesn't make any sense to me, if so.

Doesn't it show one for each cpu in the system?

Unless your system has exactly one CPU without hyperthreading and with


exactly one core this is the correct bahavior, one tux per logical CPU.

If you just want a single tux you can run your kernel on a system with
only one logical CPU, boot it with maxcpus=1 or rebuild it with
CONFIG_SMP=n... though in those case you will not be able to benefit
from all of your CPU's resources..

Apparently so. And, why this should be true is beyond me.

drivers/video/fbmem.c:

int fb_show_logo(struct fb_info *info, int rotate)
{
int y;

y = fb_show_logo_line(info, rotate, fb_logo.logo, 0,
num_online_cpus());
y = fb_show_extra_logos(info, y, rotate);

return y;
}


I guess its just a cute way of showing off how many cpus you've got ;-)

I know this is cosmetic, but could we change this behavior and just
show one Tux on all systems? As a software tester, this just looks
like a bug. Alternatively, let's put labels under the Tux images
showing "CPU (N)", "CPU (N+1)", ....

This seems like a much better way to know the state of your CPUs:

Its well-known joke by now. Please keep it.
