hello everyone!
i didn't know what kernel-smp was about so i installed the rpm i found in the fedora updates section, in my single processor i686. of course this is wrong, i believe, because kernel-smp is for multi-processor systems (please correct me if i got it all wrong).
Generally true.
However if you are running a Xeon CPU, you need SMP for Intel's hyperventilating technology.
Some motherboards also require the SMP kernel in order to handle interrupts correctly.
anyway, i tried executing this: rpm -U kernel-smp, but i'm just getting an error message. i want it uninstalled. how?
rpm -e.
But, if you happen to be running the SMP kernel (highly unlikely), don't do that until you've rebooted into a UP kernel.
