https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=327544 Summary: wrong kernel selection Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ibz@acsat.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer The installer selected kernel-default for my system AMD Athlon64 x2 4200 with 3GB RAM. It would not have to select kernel-bigsmp? Now zypper has uptadet my system to kernel-default-2.6.22.5-25-i586.

From Bug 304197, comment #12:
It has been decided to use the bigsmp kernel regardless the amount of memory or the count of CPUs. The only rule which defines which kernel will be used by default is the presence of the PAE extensions. ------------------------------------------- AMD Athlon64 x2 4200 supports PAE, therefore kernel-bigsmp was installed. kernel-bigsmp is available just for i586 machines and the installed version was kernel-bigsmp-2.6.22.5-25, kernel-default available for update was kernel-default-2.6.22.5-29 and is usable as well because there isn't more than 3GB of RAM. So, in my opinion, the installer should select 64bit kernel-default instead of the 32bit kernel-bigsmp though the cpu supports PAE.
