Hi,
I had a 16-core machine and tried to build a smp version of
linux-2.6.23 kernel. I did the following steps:
1. make menuconfig ( actually I didt change the configuration since it
builds SMP support by default)
2. make; make modules; make modules_install; make install
But the final image file is vmlinuz-2.6.23, not vmlinuz-2.6.23smp. Is
this final image a real smp kernel? If not, do i need to apply
patches. Thanks!
Multiprocessor support is provided by default - there is no separate
smp kernel (from Fedora 7 onwards I think). You should not need to
apply additional patches.
O/T : I'm back from vacation though extremely jet-lagged.
Cheers
Chris
