Hello!
Is there any chance to upgrade DSL to a SMP-Kernel?
I would like to reaktivate my IBM Netfinity 3500 as a fileserver and DSL seems to be the right distro for it...

Bye,
Robert

hi! i am new here.
but i got the same question in mind till i found this thread :)


so i tried "uname -a" on some of my machines, mostly i got the smp stamp, also on single cpu machines.

so the question is not that dsl support smp machines otherwise i think the question is for example that dsl really uses both cores on a dual core system or more than 1 cpu in multiprocessor systems.


i tried both versions dsl2.4 and dsl-n with the 2.6 kernel,
boot with vmwareplayer and i got the smp stamp.

but then i tried boinc (setiathome) and only one cpu core is used.

but it can be that the vmware player does not support dualcore cpus or smp systems for the booted image?!

From the vmplayer documentation:

Virtual SMP
VMware Player does not support Virtual SMP. You cannot use VMware Player to power on a
virtual machine that has more than one virtual processor assigned.
