Hi Naren, According to this document http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/install-guide/s1-upgrade-lilo.html#S2-UPGD-X86-BOOTLOADER-SMP-LILO
The SMP kernels makes use of all the processors(2 in your case) while the non-SMP kernel runs with only one processor. It is just for safety that the non-SMP option is present. Please correct me if I am wrong. -- Satish Vellanki http://cs.ttu.edu/~savellan/ ----- Original Message ---- From: Narender Rao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 10:01:38 PM Subject: [twincling] Difference between SMP Kernel and a normal Kernel Hi, Please help me out with this.
