Hello Willem (and all),
Thanks for your advice, but the bad news is that I'm already running the
SMP kernel, that is the strange part:
[root@streamer /root]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)
[root@streamer /root]# uname -a
Linux streamer.et.telecom.com.ar 2.4.18-17.7.xsmp #1 SMP Tue Oct 8 12:37:04 EDT 2002

[root@streamer /root]# rpm -qa | grep kernel

As you may infer by reading at my lilo.conf, I'm struggling with this one since some
time ago... :)
Thanks again, I appreciate your help

Clasificación:
I seem to recall having to install the smp rpm by hand on an ibm netfinity
box when installing 7.1.
Then one has to change lilo.conf and rerun lilo to load the correct
kernel.
Then do dmesg to see if it worked.
