klipp Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Tynan S1564D Tomcat dual Intel 233 mmx processors. Installation installed the SMP kernel as default but won't boot it. Only gives the initial message "bios data check successful" then re-boots. Booting the alternate linux-i586-up-1GB kernel works fine but is of course, very slow. This machine also has Mandrake 9.0 installed in another partition and boots and runs its SMP kernel without problems. Any ideas as to how to make it boot the SMP kernel would be greatly appreciated.

adamw Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 You can't, it's an i686 kernel. The default kernel has been i686 optimized since release 10.1. The default kernel - and consequently the -smp kernel - was i586 optimized in 9.0, which is why that one works OK. I don't think we actually provide a -i586 -smp compiled kernel any more, so you'll have to grab the kernel .src.rpm and roll your own. Sorry!

klipp Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 O.K. That makes sense! Thanks for the solution. I'll crank out one of my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
