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.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..

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.
