7.4 install defaulted to smp
« on: March 25, 2009, 10:43:10 PM »
I upgraded from 6.0.1-01 to 7.0 to 7.4.

Upon booting up in 7.4 I see that the default kernel is smp, whereas, I have a single processor. This may have happened when I upgraded to 7.0.

Has anyone seen this happen before? I assume I can just change the grub.conf file to correct this.

Thanks,
Jim

Not necessary. Boot once using uniprocessor kernel, and that will become the default.

But I wouldn't bother. The smp kernel runs just fine with one CPU.
