Compiling a kernel is pretty much the same thing:

You configure it and than compile it.
Whilst compiling, you will use a tool called make-kpkg, there read the --help 
for options and targets, usually 

make-kpkg --bzimage kernel-image 

would do the trick... This creates a .deb, which you can install with dpkg -i 
kernel$%%/()&.deb

Thats basicaly it with installing kernels under debian.

Betreff: How to install SMP kernel?


I have a dual Opteron machine onto which I've installed Debian using 
sid-amd64-netinst.iso.

Now, I think this install only caters for a single cpu right? Is there an 
altenate ISO that would install an SMP ready kernel, or should I recompile the 
kernel to enable SMP?

If a recompile is the best way, I'm new to Debian (more used to Redhat, 
Mandrake).  Is compiling a kernel under Debian much the same thing, or are 
there docs for Debian kernel compiles?
