If you want to run without SMP, you have to build it manually (i.e. not with rpmbuild). Simply download the kernel from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.38.tar.bz2 untar it make xconfig make sudo make modules_install install Cheers, JD -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
