I think you are misunderstanding what our "SMP" kernel is. It's an SMP-alt kernel, meaning when you boot it on a non-SMP system, it switches it's internal code (at boot) to more UP like functions). That's the reason we did away with the 686-smp/686 setup. It wasn't needed anymore. That said, we now have a -generic kernel in edgy which is SMP enabled, and can be used on k7/686. This kernel is on our livecd for edgy, so yes, it will be SMP from this CD. -- Fail to boot smp kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/24533 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
