Getting a smp kernel on my J6000



Hi,

	I loaded a smp kernel on my J6000 and made the /boot/vmlinux symlink point
to the new kernel (vmlinux-2.4.26-pa4-debian-64-smp), however palo loaded
2.4.17-32. Looking back at the palo output, here's what happened:

Selected kernel: /boot/vmlinux from partition 1
Warning: kernel name doesn't end with 32 or 64 -- Guessing...
This box can boot either 32 or 64-bit kernels...Only see a 32-bit kernel,
using
thatELF32 executable
...

Could someone please tell me tell me why palo has this "32 or 64" check
which keeps you from runnning a kernel that ends in smp? Can I just rename
the new kernel to end in 64, modify the symlink and boot the smp kernel?

Thanks,

Harry
