I never expected anything from redhat, only requested it. I assumed that people other than redhat staff read and reply to this list. 2. All I want to know, is that why when I create the kernel from an RPM, it does not create the smp version. 3. How can I make the rpmbuild create a kernel using the kernel source with an smp version. -- .ca DOMAINS: https://www.domainsunder.ca Computer Engineering Inc.
