The default (non i586) kernel is SMP now even for single core beasties.
cat /proc/version
[dotancohen@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6
(brewbuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105
(Red Hat 4.1.1-51)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 10 19:28:18 EST 2007
Yes, there it is!
to see if you have SMP in there, if not, you may have been bitten by the
anaconda bug that installs an i586 kernel on boxes that are better off
with the i686 one. Find out definitively by
rpm -q kernel --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
[dotancohen@localhost ~]$ rpm -q kernel --queryformat
"%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686
kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.i686
Well, then again there it isn't.
