2) If I cant use the k7-smp kernel and am left with the standard i386,
does that mean I will be using 1 processor while the other lays idol?
thus reducing my processing power and cache by half?
Just to add another dimension - I originally intended to use the
k8-smp kernel, but the manufacturer did not have a xp 64 driver for
the wireless card, so in 64bit there is no wireless at all, other
64bit drivers I have found for this chipset do not work (I had a
similar problem with 32 bit until I used the driver from the
manufacturer and not other ones I found around the place, even though
they were for the same chipset).
Have you tried the i686 smp kernel? 686 is a higher level generic kernel
that may work for you.
Failing that, can you download the kernel sources and the .config file
for the i386 kernel and then just change the settings for cpu to Turion
and turn smp on??
Sorry, not much help really.
