Hi,
(The question is just curiosity, it works.) I installed SUSE 10.0 yesterday. The installer chose kernel-smp-2.6.13-15 as package for my kernel even though I don't have an SMP system. This is no multi-core system either. (My host has an Intel Pentium 4 3 GHz.)
Is it normal that a SMP-kernel is chosen by the installer for a normal P4 system?
Nope.... maybe you have a hyper-threading system?
But welcome to the club, I have an HT system and both in the install and subsequent updates of the kernel, it picked the default kernel.
If I switch to the SMP kernel, I get two processors... so this must be a bug in the install.
This must be a platform independent "feature." See the attached xp screenshot... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. RANKIN LAW FIRM, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 (936) 715-9333 (936) 715-9339 fax www.rankinlawfirm.com --
