Linux is a modular OS unlike windows and we can find out - which - kernal the system is using with yast - in yast2 software install/remove software the in the catagory - system/kernal - then verify that you do not have the k_smp kernal installed if it is it - will - have an i next to it - if it is installed then select it to be removed/ deleted - AND MAKE SURE TO SELECT k_deflt which is the default kernel for a system - with - on processor when selected for install it will have an X next to it - dont worry it wont hurt anything doing this it is safe as you can boot in - safe - mode if all else fails and reinstall the kernel In my case, I did post that I am using SuSE 7.3 Pro. I found nothing with k_smp in YAST 2 either. My point wasn't to commandeer the thread, though getting the problem solved would be nice ;-) My point was simply that the problem exists in 7.3 and here we are and 8 does the same thing. Anyone looking for another reason not to upgrade? Cheers, Brian
