Yes.
As far as I remember, fedora-smp-kernel is configured to support <= 32
cores.

In x86_64 all kernels are SMP.
In i386 - Anaconda (the installer) will select the SMP kernel for you.
Actually the i386 kernels are all SMP also.
<release notes>
Default Kernel Provides SMP
There is no separate SMP kernel available for Fedora Core 6 on i386,
x86_64 and ppc64. Multiprocessor support is provided by the native
kernel.
PowerPC Kernel Support
There is no support for Xen or kdump for the PowerPC architecture in
Fedora Core 6 test3. 32-bit PowerPC does still have a separate SMP
kernel.
</release notes>
However you may want to use the PAE kernel for "32-bit x86 systems
with > 4GB of RAM, or with CPUs that have a 'NX (No eXecute)' feature"
(such as Intel Core2 Duo etc.) I'm not sure that anaconda installs
this automatically...?
thanks. all information's useful.
is there a place where the maximum and minimum hardware configurations
for FC6 are documented? what i'm really drive at is i want to know how
many cpu's, 64 bit or 32 bit, how much memory, i can configure for my
system. is there any benchmark figures which shows how performance
scales with more hardware on FC6?
