Hi Mark and Akemi
thanks for your prompt responses.
Right! The Cisco VPN user's guide says:
"The VPN Client for Linux does not support kernel Version 2.5 prior to
VPN Client Release 4.0.1.A and
does not support SMP (multiprocessor) kernels in any release of the VPN
Client."
4.0.1A is a really old version - in fact I never saw this version?
We use Cisco VPN on SL3/4/5 with SMP and with UP kernel since a few year
now.
We don't have any problems on SMP / or SL5, as far as I know.
We use version 4.8.00.0490 on SL5/SL4 and version 4.6 on SL3.

But there used to be kernel.*.rpm and kernel-smp.*.rpm
for download. Is there such a thing for SL-5.1
Here is the compilation error:

Hello
I have noticed that there is no SMP kernel in the
repositories. Is this right?
How can I choose between SMP and no SMP kernel during the
installation?
It seems that the installation picked the SMP version
automatically, but I do not want it because I have some
modules that do not compile with it (Cisco VPN)
Thanks for your help
Fernando
hi Fernando,
If you want, you can post your compile errors here.
I have never seen a situation where smp support caused a compile failure.
Its very interesting, thanks

Fernando,
Looks like the Release Notes (even the latest) for Cisco VPN says "SMP
kernels are not supported". I suppose the only way to get a non-smp
(UP) kernel is to recompile from the source. I have done this before
but with an earlier version of the kernel. I heard that more recent
version had some issue when rebuilding.
I wonder if you *must* use Cisco VPN ...
