Hi,
I would like to install Debian 3.0
(Stable) on my dual CPU Pentium 3 system, with an SMP kernel of
course. My understanding is I would have to first install using a non-SMP
kernel, and then compile a new kernel with SMP support. Could I not just
do it this way - after installation do a 'apt-get install
kernel-image-2.4.18-686-smp' ?
Actually, I've tried compiling a new kernel
and install using 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-...' on another machine,
with no success. When I try to go the easier (?) route with apt-get,
I always end up with a kernel panic at reboot.
Is there something I should (not)select during the
initial install that would make a 'apt-get install ...' work?
What is the trick to doing a successful 'apt-get
install kernel-image- ... ' (without ending up with kernel panics)?
Unfortunately I do not have enough time to go
through an install (and 'apt-get install kernel-image- ...' ) over and over
again until something works out right.
I'm trying to avoid the alternative - RedHat or
FreeBSD.
Oh, please CC me directly or 'Reply All', as
I'm not currently subscribed to this list.
Thank you very much for your help!!
Robert
