An: opensuse@opensuse.org Betreff: [opensuse] [SL 10.0) Dual processor support Datum: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 10:08:53 +0200 Hi all,
today I got a question for the german suse-linux-faq about the dual processor support in SL 10.0. The submitter asked if dual processors (here: two Intel Pentuim 4) are recognized during setup, because after the installation the submitter sees only one processor.
I did not answer yet, because I do not have a dual processor system to test it, but I followed Google to the following stuff:
<google>
http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=14914 How do i check if both processors are running in suse? [...] type cat /proc/cpuinfo If it lists both cpu's...it recognized both cpu's...for instance... [...] If they aren't listed that most likely means you need to install the SMP kernel.
</google>
My question now is, if it is true that the installation system only works with one processor even if it detects two processors in order to avoid problems? And in addition if this installation behaviour leads to install the one-processor-kernel by default?
bis dahin/kind regards
Martin Mewes
Hi, I've got a Intel Pentium D processor system(Dual-Core) and the installation system detects both. It installed the SMP kernel. To check which kernel the system installed try uname -r Uli -- Highspeed-Freiheit. Bei GMX supergünstig, z.B. GMX DSL_Cityflat, DSL-Flatrate für nur 4,99 Euro/Monat* http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl
