I don't understand here what is wrong with my notion. What I said is very clear, the 
OS can't access user-level thread, right ? so schedular can't schedule them ... I 
may be missing something, but this point is not wrong... 
 
if you can jot down some basic points for a user-level thread, then surely there is 
only thing at the top, and that's noting but the fact that "OS doesn't know about the 
user-level threads and thas why it can't schedule them seperately on multiple 
processors on SMP"... 
 
Please tell me where exactly I am wrong... 
 
Thanks.
