Actually, the solution is to just use the -386 kernel. Having a -686 non-smp kernel would not give you any benefit. Also, no, the -686 and -686-smp are not both compiled SMP, simply because there is only one image, and that's -686. It uses SMP-Alternatives to lesson the overhead of running on UP systems. (Yes, there is a linux-686 and linux-686-smp, but those are metapackages, and the latter only exists to help with upgrades). Technically, 90% of people who have a UP system should be running the -386 kernel. -- Slow 2D graphics and high CPU usage when idle https://launchpad.net/bugs/53757 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
