This is really odd. I have been trying for days to get my kernel
compiled properly. I kept getting errors (sorry, but I can't remember
exactly what they were) about smp stuff not being properly defined.
IIRC, there is only one option about smp in the config options. Since I
only have one processor, I turned smp off, naturally. Every time I would
make bzImage, I would get errors relating to smp. If I turned smp
support on however, everything would work just fine. In fact, the kernel
I'm running right now has smp support compiled in.
Anyway, the question is: Is this going to be a problem for me? SInce I
don't actually have a multiproc system, is the kernel going to think I
do and cause problems? Why in the world would kernel compilation crash
with smp disabled? That is the only thing that I changed to make it
work. This seems really bizarre to me. It did the same with two
different kernel sources: vanilla-2.4.20 and gentoo-2.4.20-r1.
I just don't get it. Everything is working fine now and I'm not
complaining, but it's just strange.
