You can install a Debian kernel with smp support use "apt-cache search
kernel-image smp" without the quotes to see the available images for install
you would want one of the ones with em64t in the name.
I belive should be linux-image instead of kernel-image or this is
false to sarge?
sorry if thats the case I have only sid...
