Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 Version: 2.6.18-7 Severity: minor File: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686
dmesg says this on my SMP system: ... Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK. SMP alternatives: switching to UP code ACPI: Core revision 20060707 CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz stepping 04 SMP alternatives: switching to SMP code Booting processor 1/1 eip 3000 ... Expected behaviour: Since I have an SMP system, the kernel should never need to "switch to UP code". What I'm hoping to accomplish with this bug report is one of: 1. A change in the kernel so that it doesn't switch to UP code on SMP systems. 2. A pointer to some documentation describing why switching to UP code is necessary on SMP systems. If alternative 2, I'll update my logcheck rules.
