Suse 10.1 Help with changing kernel
Hey all, I'm running suse 10 with Service pack 1 Enterprise edition on a 2 cpu system and 2GB RAM.
After runing uname -r I got the following:
2.6.16.46-0.12-default
And when i ran dmesg command I got this:
Processor #0 6:15 APIC version 17
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x01] enabled)
Processor #1 6:15 APIC version 17
WARNING: NR_CPUS limit of 1 reached. Processor ignored.
I was sure that suse 10 comes with SMP enabled but it seem not to be so.
So my questions are:
1) Where from I get the appropriate kernel version with SMP?
2) How do I install the SMP kernel?
Thanks in advance

Do it through Yast-Software-Software management
search for kernel.
The newer version 10.3 does this automatically but older versions you must specify what kernel you want. If I recall, this will add an additional boot option. You will need to edit the /etc/fstab file to set the default boot kernel.

I"ve found how to do it

Somebody gave me a CD with the smp kernel as rpm file.
I"ve installed the file.
Went to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and changed the defult to point to the new kernel.
And it worked
