You could simply install the -smp kernel if it hasn't been already (rpm -qa | grep kernel) and make that the LILO default if it doesn't claim that by default. AFAIK, running an SMP kernel on a uniprocessor is harmless, too. I installed 8.2 and 9.0 on a dual-processor Intel motherboard with only one CPU, and got the -enterprise kernel by default, both times. I plugged a second CPU in and the result was two penguins on boot and no observable drop in responsiveness when Windows buzzed inside a Win4Lin session. Cheers; Leon
