Bug#228252: SMP detection doesn't work

[Thomas Poindessous <thomas@poindessous.com>]

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 ?
