Re: Help with dual-processor's machine



i didnt make the original post

its SMP (symetrical multi processing/or)

although i would strong recommend always holding on to
the last working kernel prior to your current.

and with SMP kernels, holding onto a working non-smp
(uni processor) kernel. even if its just the install
kernel, then you track the lastest SMP.

its just good practise (tm)

yeah, the spm or smp or whatever it was (short-term memory lapse...
sorry) is the one for dual-cpus.  I'm not sure but I think it's also
the one for dual-core cpus, right?

anyways, make sure you follow these steps:

install the new kernel.

boot the new kernel.

THEN it's safe to uninstall the old kernel (unless you wanna keep it
around, but that's not a good idea usually).  I hear you can get some
really strange things when you uninstall the active kernel.
