I fixed sparse physical APIC ID wakeup, so setting it to 2 should be fine now. If the configurator is hiding it from you, please contact Roman Zippel, and in the meantime vi .config and search for NR_CPUS and set that to the desired value. AFAIK the option is visible, but I've not got unusual configs. "William" == William Lee Irwin writes: William> Yes, they're mutually exclusive.

It's barely meant to be interactive if at all. menuconfig might be a better configuration method for you. -- wli - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
