Hello, Aha then you would want to take a peep into /boot, the kernel would clearly be labelled smp, this helps to know which kernel(s) type are installed. They will be something-2.4.18-5smp or something like that, there will be no mistaking that. But if you aren't sure I would just ins

Okay the easiest way that I can think of is if you boot and you are using GRUB then the it will say 2.4.xxx-smp somewhere, but realize that if you were using only one processor previously then it would be the case that you have a non-smp kernel since you added the processor later. So you may ha

Hello, Yes I would say so, smp kernels are meant for 2 processors and above, but maybe the enterprise kernel maybe suitable for you, well it really depends on the amount of RAM, if you have large amounts of memory in your system then it will be the way to go aka enterprise, ot

enabling dual processor in redhat 7.3

2002-08-01 Thread jhun bacala
Hi All, I have a Redhat 7.3 on my machine with STL2 board on it. Initially it only has 1 processor, now I've add additional processor on it. My question is how do I know if Redhat 7.3 recognizes the two processor or thus Redhat utilizes the two processor? Is there a utility to check it? Thank
