Hi Guys....

I've installed 5.5 on a IBM PC330 server with dual PPro. The installation (As far as i can tell) did not install the SMP kernel... there is only one option available in the lilo.conf file and only one kernel in the boot directory....

What can be done to get the smp kernel installed?

Thanks in advance...

Do you get the e-smith UP and e-smith splash screen on boot:?

Nope... just the e-smith kernel....


A few developments.... I installed the kernel-smp..... rpm that is on the 5.5 distribution.... and added a reference to it in the lilo.conf file. I've re-rebooted and I now have two options on the splash screen: e-smith and e-smith-smp ( the one I added).

So far so good I though :)... But the smp kernel won't boot.. :(   It will decompress and then hang.....

OK... So something is up.... Just before I decided to install 5.5, I had RedHat 6.2 running on the box with the kernel: 2.2.14-5.0smp.. It ran like a charm... nothing has changed on the box...

Any ideas?

Thanks

Matt

What does e-smith UP mean as opposed to e-smith?
Uni-processor?
