Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 22:59:44 +0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="big5" Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I know it's not proper ask such question here. But I don't know where can I post this question. I download RedHat 7.1 last week, and install it in my dual-CPU enviroment. I try to rebuild kernel that support SMP in kernel 2.4.2 today , but it failed. The following is what I did. ======================================== 1. Install Red Hat 7.1 in my dual-CPU environment 2. type 'uname -a' , the following is the result: Linux lab5-1 2.4.2-2smp #1 SMP Sun Apr 8 20:21:34 EDT 2001 i686 unknown 3. cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 (becuase Red Hat link the 2.4.2 kernel source to linux-2.4) 4. make mrproper 5. make menuconfig (set SMP and RTC) 6. make dep 7. make clean 8. make bzImage 9. make modules 10. make modules_install 11. edit /etc/lilo.conf 12. run lilo 13. reboot, choose new kernel to boot the system, type 'uname -a' Linux lab5-1 2.4.2-2 #1 SMP Wed Apr 25 18:56:05 CST 2001 i686 unknown My question is why the result of 'uname -r' is not "2.4.2-2smp" , but "2.4.2-2" Whether I forgot to do something? It seems that when we compile the 2.4.2 kernel, it will not use -D__SMP__ argument now. (because I didn't see it in /usr/src/linux-2.4/Makefile, and I didn't see it when I did 'make bzImage') If someone ever build 2.4.x kernel which support SMP, please teach me how to do it. Thanks!! -------------------------------------------------- Yiping Chen VIA Technologies, Inc.
