Let's see if I can help, since I've got the SMP boxes laying around here... BTW, it's not considered a good practice to send HTMLized e-mail to the list. X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2314.1300 If you need help configuring Outlook Express, please let me know and I'll be glad to help you out. Okay, you make no mention of the hardware that you're working with. Some machines (as exemplified by my Compaq ProLiant 1500) require a little tweaking to get things to work correctly. Compaq also uses a different ASIC setup than other companies out there, and requires to you configure the BIOS to a specific operating system which will allow the ASIC to work properly with that OS and thereby allow you to utilize the other processor. What have you been doing as far as trying to configure the kernel for SMP usage? Have you recompiled the kernel? That will be required, in any case, to create an SMP kernel for your machine. Also, can you verify via dmesg that you do not currently have the other processor being utilized? A little more help and we'd be on the way to helping you out, Dennis.

I have a SMP mother board with two CPUs. I would like to use a SMP kernel but can't seem to make one that will work using the config utility. Is there an easier way to make my working kernel a SMP kernel without changing anything else?
