Hi,
I was wondering - when debian compiles the kernel, by default does it enable support for dual-pentium3-cpus? I've got a motherboard with twin pentium3 cpus on it, and I was wondering if the kernel would use it by default?
thanks,

When Debian compiles the kernel?

Do you mean if you chose to use a pre-compiled Debian kernel package?

If so, then you must select an SMP enabled kernel package eg

--------

kernel-image-2.4-686-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.4 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP.

This package will always depend on the latest 2.4 kernel image available for Pentium Pro/Celeron/Pentium II/PentiumIII/Pentium IV with SMP support.

--------

Otherwise you compile the kernel source yourself and enable the SMP support option
when you do a make config or make menuconfig or make xconfig
