Thank you for the "1" hint. The resulting screen is quite funny. Have
a look at cpu2 :-) cpu2 seems to be on holiday?

Or AWOL... 0% used, 0% idle?

There are even more problems :-(
I just checked the machine status via ssh and got this (see below):

so, there is NO cpu load at all. But the two f@h smp clients I
started yesterday evening still show up in "ps x". (I started two
clients to get a cpu usage of about 60%)

Are the F@H clients making any progress? Have they submitted any results
to their mothership?
Usually I kill the two clients and restart them. They do work on then and show
up in "top". They also finisch work units and send them back. At some point
the threads disappear from "top" and seem to sleep? The f@h log shows just
the last checkpoint and then nothing...
I restarted the clients with "-verbosity 9" option now and hope to get some
more info.

What doaes this mean?

Something is whack.

I'd probably start by looking in /var/log/message and /var/log/boot.msg
for clues. I'd probably also poke around in /proc or in YaST's various
reporting modules.
"dmesg" shows the following
"ACPI Exception (thermal-0459): AE_ERROR, ACPI thermal trip point state
changed
Please send acpidump to linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[20070126]
"
I will send them the acpi output later today.

If somebody likes to help - the files are here:
