Hi theree, I'm installing SuSE 9.3 on a dual PII (2 * 512MB) but during installation there is only one cpu visible. Is installation always single cpu? Do I have to recompile the kernel with SMP support? -- Kind regards, Peter M.

In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it "Christmas" and went to church; the Jews called it "Hanukka" and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say "Merry Christmas!" or "Happy Hanukka!" or (to the atheists) "Look out for the wall!" -- Dave Barry, "Christmas Shopping: A Survivor's Guide"

Do I have to recompile the kernel with SMP support? No I have a Dual Xeon and a Dual Celeron I have also had a Quad Xeon and never had to recompile for SMP

Ok. Seems like the installer already answered my question. Sorry for bothering you (And triggering the OOO-replies :) ) -- Kind regards, Peter M.

But it is equally important to accept and tolerate different standards of courtesy, not expecting everyone else to adapt to one's own preferences.

And just for my 2 cents: You virtually NEVER have to recompile the kernel for anything but Experimental/Developmental purposes these days. Its a task I don't miss at all. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

You have a SMP version of the kernel on SuSE's CDs/DVDs. Just run yast and force to reinstall the kernel and nongpl part of the kernel. -- Marek Chlopek
