Your network drivers are not compiled in, or not loaded via modprobe.
You need to compile in FrameBuffer support, and edit your lilo.conf to use small console fonts.

1- you have to enable framebuffer stuff. I don't use this so i can't be more precise.
2- that seems strange. Is your bios showing two cpu? Did you try some smp kernel from some live cd? A motherboard's jumper misconfigured?
3- if you compiled the nic's driver as a module, be sure it's loaded with lsmod.

i dont have 2 processors, only single processor P4 with HT so the bios will only show one processor. What I wanted to do was to get 2 logical processor. I have read about this an it seems to be possible and it gives also some performance advantages..
as far as I know I selected the NIC driver .. I have broadcom nic I will try again .
About HT, you probably missed some kernel option. Do gkrellm shows 2 processors?
i have already edited lilo it is showing small fonts with my safe (2.6.14.3 kernel)
i dont know about kernel options for ht I asked this question in this forum before starting and got info that I should only enable smp ... do u know the option or the place where I can find abt it ?
Under the SMP option, you have the SMT scheduler (Hyperthreading), but you should have already enabled this. You typed lilo after compiling and moving the kernel in /boot?
