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.

I don't think so, this is just a run-of-the-mill P4 system that I bought last week.

Dumb me; yes, I have.
For the record, /proc/cpuinfo is

Flag ht is set and siblings is > 1. Well, I didn't know that I bought such a thing. ;-) Thanks for pointing me towards an answer. Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany

Go into 'top' and type a '1'. You should see info for each cpu at the top of the display.

I wonder if someone didn't interpret a flag wrong..... and they reversed the kernel selection. It always selected the smp kernel in 9.3 which for me is correct. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
