SuSE 9.1 personnal and SMP
Hello, Can anyone tell me if SuSE 9.1 personnal (iso) supports an SMP system ? I installed the OS on a dual Athlon XP machine but only one processor seems to be detected by SuSE... During the boot sequence the BIOS shows both CPUs, but once in SuSE, only one shows up... The MB is a Tyan. Am I missing some config somewhere ? I'm still fairly new to Linux. Thanks -- Le Je-Pe

Hi Jean-Philippe Do you have a SMP kernel installed? What does "uname -a" give you? YOu said it detects two CPU's at boot. What does "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor" give? -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 70 464 99 39 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

There are two kernels on the CD: kernel-default kernel-smp Install the kernel-smp rpm with the following command: rpm -ihv kernel-smp-2.6.4-52.i586.rpm Doing it this way has the advantage that you still have kernel-default available. If you later decide to remove the kernel-smp rpm, you can do that with: rpm -e kernel-smp and reboot. The PC boots then with kernel-default. Cheers, Leen
