I just installed FC5 on a Pentium 4 based machine and ended up with a 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp kernel. I ran `yum update` and was upgraded to 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp. The problem is that my motherboard, Intel D865PERL, is a single CPU motherboard and my Intel CPU P4 2.8 pre-dates any dual core technologies. The /proc/cpuinfo did list two CPU's.
Look in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and you will see where it specifies your default kernel type. In single processor systems here, we've had some random lockups that traced back to the use of SMP and so we don't use the SMP kernels. These problems happened back in the Fedora 3 days, can't say now if it is a big issue. -- Paul E.
