Hi, for the moment, smp detection doesn't work as the logic is wrong.
For a SMP system, a no-smp kernel reports : Processors: 1 and for a uni-cpu, there is no line at all. So you would install a smp kernel only if the grep is positive. But anyway, current kernel used by d-i doesn't work with this technique, I don't know why. After install, I have installed kernel-image-2.4.24-1-686 and I got a "Processors: 1" line. I will install kernel-image-2.4.24-1-386 to see I get the line with a 386 kernel. And are you interessed in more x86 cpu detection (others than athlon and P4) or you will use archdetect ? PS : for dmesg ring buffer, maybe you could use the info in syslog ? -- Thomas Poindessous -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
