Life is very complicated. Let us see if we can make it simple. 1)
build
the kernel using rpmbuild ... on 1 machine with smp. Creating the

2) create a rpm with these binaries or distribute the binaries to all
other
machines. Now is that difficult. Or go in to the spec file and figure
out
how to set it up for smp. And go from there.
I'm sorry, is there a question here or are you just making a statement?
I'm sorry, did you read the thread or the post or are you trying to be funny or can we deduce something about you.
???? I honestly don't see a question in your last post. Although I must admit that my being a native English speaker puts me at a disadvantage. I hope your last remark isn't meant as a provocation.
In any event....
If all you are trying to do is to rebuild the kernel RPM with SMP capabilities then you don't need an SMP machine.
Assuming you are using the RH SRPM
1. rpm -ivh kernel...src.rpm (Some people find the use of a .rpmmacros file of value to put the source in a "non-root") location.
2. rpmbuild -ba --target i686 kernel-2.4.spec
But then again, someone had already said that...but it seemed to be not what you are looking for....
I think the other poster was saying that they hack the kernel....config file in the SOURCES directory to enable/disable features as opposed to running menuconfig.
Is there something unclear or specific that you need to know that is being missed?
Sorry to have irritated you.
