AW: How to install SMP kernel?
Compiling a kernel is pretty much the same thing:
You configure it and than compile it.
Whilst compiling, you will use a tool called make-kpkg, there read the --help for options and targets, usually
make-kpkg --bzimage kernel-image
would do the trick... This creates a .deb, which you can install with dpkg -i kernel$%%/()&.deb
Thats basicaly it with installing kernels under debian.

Betreff: How to install SMP kernel?
I have a dual Opteron machine onto which I've installed Debian using sid-amd64-netinst.iso.
Now, I think this install only caters for a single cpu right? Is there an altenate ISO that would install an SMP ready kernel, or should I recompile the kernel to enable SMP?
If a recompile is the best way, I'm new to Debian (more used to Redhat, Mandrake). Is compiling a kernel under Debian much the same thing, or are there docs for Debian kernel compiles?
