Thankyou so much JO and AJS. I got the kernel installed by just #apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp and a reboot. It booted the smp kernel by default :-) 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp it has detected both cpus too ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # mpstat -P 0 Linux 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp (oss40) 12/13/2005 06:22:06 PM CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %irq %soft %idle intr/s 06:22:06 PM 0 0.14 0.00 0.21 0.35 0.00 0.00 99.29 1014.09 # mpstat -P 1 Linux 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp (oss40) 12/13/2005 06:22:38 PM CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %irq %soft %idle intr/s 06:22:38 PM 1 0.08 0.00 0.27 0.04 0.00 0.00 99.60 0.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- but still the boot dmesg shows this for the SMP kernel ---------------------------------- Processor #0 15:5 APIC version 16 ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x02] lapic_id[0x01] enabled) Processor #1 15:5 APIC version 16 ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x03] lapic_id[0x82] disabled) ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x04] lapic_id[0x83] disabled) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- why is LAPIC disabled for processor 1? please let me know if you need the full boot time dmesg :-) Thankyou so much once again. kind regards Siju
