Type "uname -a", as you did before:

SMP appears here if and only if your kernel was compiled as an SMP
kernel (i.e., with CONFIG_SMP set). Programmatically, you can get
this same information from the "uname" system call. The "version"
member for the "utsname" structure will be the complete string:
#1 SMP Wed Apr 25 18:56:05 CST 2001
That is, you should be able to reliably determine whether or not the
kernel is SMP by simply "strstr"ing for " SMP " in the version string.

The "__SMP__" preprocessor define has been replaced by the
"CONFIG_SMP" configuration file variable.
