Simple - smp kernels support machines with more than one processor
in them. SMP kernels have unneeded things compiled in if your
machine, like most home systems, only has one processor it.

I'm compiling kernel-source-2.4.25.
I saw that it's different packages kernel-image-2.4.25-1 and
kernel-image-2.4.25-1-smp in the result of command 'apt-get
install kernel-image-2.4.25' . I think that the original source
package of kernel-2.4.25 must be the same,but i don't know what's
the different,and how to compile a SMP kernel deb package.

Thanks.

Try 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' or when using 'top' use the key combo "ctrl + 1" to show multiple cpu's
