Thanks for that.....well what have I got to loose.....can only give it a go Will let you know how I progress. Thanks Richard

Thanks for all of the very useful information....just one further question....I noticed that you suggested for the config to run make xconfig I assume this is the xwindows version of config. I have not installed x as didnt want to clutter the poor old beast with a gui so am just running the shell. Do I assume I just run the shell version and select the same parameters to change. Richard

I have a symlink from linux-2.4 -> linux-2.4.18-14 In that same directory I also have directories linux-2.6.5-1.358 redhat When I looked in the /boot directory I do have a config-2.6.5-1.358 & config-2.6.5-1.358smp. I had a look through these files and couldnt see any reference to processor in it under the Procerror section. so where to from there. Thanks for the help Richard

I did as you suggested and it is definately only running one processor. When I installed as far as I know it built the SMP kernel, as on GRUB I have 2 choices when I boot.....either 2.6.x or 2.6.x smp, which is the one I choose. Are you suggesting that I should recompile the kernel again now to see if I can get it working......that should be fun, a new experience for me. Thanks Richard

I have just installed Fedora Core 2 on a Compaq Proliant 1600 dual P II 300 server. All seemed to go well except that I dont appear to have the second processor recognised. Is there any definitive way that I can tell whether it is and if it isnt does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this. Thanks Richard
