hi, talking about repo: Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/ is there a reason or can anyone explain why there is a SMP kernel in i586 and no one in x86_64 is this a bug or is the default version in x86_64 the SMP version? (reason 4 my question: i am planning to upgrade to dualcore CPU and asking me what kernel to use) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

kernel-default is already the SMP kernel. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

thanks only to fill my info-gap: why is i586 kernel divided into SMP and default? or: why the x68_64 is not? if the answer is too long, philosophical or technical: give me a link, please -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

kernel-default.i586 also has SMP support. There's the kernel-bigsmp.i586 package for those big iron 32bit machines with >4GB of RAM and >64 cpus. On x86_64, you get all that with the default kernel for free. hth, Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
