[CentOS] is there an smp kernel?
I have a dual xeon, dual core box running the xen x86_64 kernel. I've decided against running any guest OS'es most of the time, so I'd like to install an smp kernel, that would hopefully allow me to install and use the nvidia drivers for my quadro FX1500 graphics card. I did a yum list kernel* but I don't see any smp kernels. Do I need to do a full reinstall w/o virtualization, or does the plain kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.28-8.1.14.el5 support smp? I spent an hour or so googling and didn't find any clear answer, but I may not have looked in the right place. thanks, -chuck ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It's supported directly within the main distribution kernel now. If you're using an smp system, you'll see SMP listed in uname -a. This was a change in the main kernel tree as well, though I don't recall the exact version this started. I think around 2.6.16 or so. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

I should still work on systems with one cpu. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you, for some reeason, must use a UP-kernel, you'd have to rebuild it from the source. Akemi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
