Supposedly enterprise kernel incurs a slight performance hit due to the ability to address a larger amount of memory. I don't know the details, hopefully someone with kernel fu can fill in the holes or maybe google will get you better answers than I'm able to provide. - -- | MandrakeSoft USA | Sometimes you get what you want. | | http://www.mandrakesoft.com | Sometimes you get experience.| | http://www.mandrakelinux.com |--unknown origin | Mandrake Cooker Devel Version, Kernel 2.4.21pre4-8mdk -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+VUm7lp7v05cW2woRArg0AKDMv1QuymTfyW+OKq4WmnqHRd8E0wCfena5 j7Mzds7oabxIbhG+XaYTnaM= =J+XB -END PGP SIGNATURE-

True, its in there. Wonder why the enterprise and SMP kernels are separated and not merged together?

Re: [Cooker] [Bug 1553] [Installation] Doesn't detect second CPU on dual Pentium II system
No... this is just an installer problem. The installer does not detect Dual cpus... thus it installs a Uni-processor kernel. The smp kernel works fine... once it's installed manually. Previous versions of the installer detected smp systems and offered loaded an smp enabled kernel. The current version of the installer (as of last nights rsync anyway) does not.

Re: [Cooker] [Bug 1553] [Installation] Doesn't detect second CPU on dual Pentium II system
The kernel is new so I'd wonder if Mandrake has release a big memory, SMP kernel version of 2.4.21-pre4 or waiting for the final code of 2.4.21. Stick with Mandrake 9.0 for production SMP! ;oP -Ken - Original Message - From: "Darren_Lissimore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 1:15 PM Subject: [Cooker] [Bug 1553] [Installation] Doesn't detect second CPU on dual Pentium II system > https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1553 > > > > > > --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-20 19:15 --- > Bug 1823 is similar Dual Athlon systems are not detected as SMP > > > > --- You are receiving this mail because: --- > You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. > > > > --- Reminder: --- > assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > status: UNCONFIRMED > creation_date: > description: > This applies to Mandrake 9.1 beta 3 > > On a Dell Precision Workstation 610 MT with dual 450 MHz Pentium II Xeon CPU, > the second CPU is not detected - at least it doesn't show up in HardDrake.
