Bug#228252: SMP detection doesn't work
Hi,
for the moment, smp detection doesn't work as the logic is wrong.
For a SMP system, a no-smp kernel reports :
Processors: 1
and for a uni-cpu, there is no line at all.
So you would install a smp kernel only if the grep is positive.
But anyway, current kernel used by d-i doesn't work with this technique,
I don't know why. After install, I have installed
kernel-image-2.4.24-1-686 and I got a "Processors: 1" line.
I will install kernel-image-2.4.24-1-386 to see I get the line with a
386 kernel.
And are you interessed in more x86 cpu detection (others than athlon and
P4) or you will use archdetect ?
PS : for dmesg ring buffer, maybe you could use the info in syslog ?
