I am now booted to "failsafe" & trying to get back to where I can try to correct this, but hitting blocks, thus my posting here. In failsafe, in YaST, trying to load default kernel, neither the floppy nor the CDROM seem to be there and I cant figure out how to access them. Any advice on how to use the CDROM or floppy in failsafe would be great, for this issue, and for future knowledge.
Your cdrom is probably configured to use ide-scsi emulation; but this is disabled for the failsafe kernel, so it won't work. Edit the line (when booting) and add ide-scsi emulation as in the default kernel. It should work.
Second, what is my course of action: is installing the default kernel what I want to do now anyway? Do I want to try to solve the depencies of the SMP kernel?
Probably.
OR some other course of action entirely? I guess perhaps I ought to start back at the start and wonder why the installer didnt recognize the second processor in the first place.
I think that's a good idea... but I have no experience there.
I have tried booting to "rescue" but it hangs once it starts probing hardware.
That's too bad! You need a rescue system. If it fails when the machine is in production, you are stuck.
