LinuxQuestions.org - Dual CPU's and Linux Question

ok, Im still waiting on the second cpu to be delivered. I would think that I have to put the cpu in before I can check to see if it is set up for smp. I have read on here that...the "uname -a" command doesnt say anything about smp.

Quote:

since kernel 2.4.17+ the smp option is enabled by default

I am running kernel 2.4.18, so im hoping that I can just throw it in and not have to recompile the kernel. I have tried running the Red Hat smp-kernel rpm and all it does is throw a bunch of "Patch" files in my / directory. What do I do after that? Is that where its supposed to go?

I tried to recompile and I got a bunch of errors after "make modules" any ideas??? Heres what I did.

make menuconfig
* selected smp option with space bar *
make clean
make dep
make bzImage
make modules

Code:
