Hi there everyone --

I'm trying to build a custom kernel for using both cores of my new Core2Duo E6600 processor...

I thought this was simply a matter of enabling the SMP support in the kernel .config and recompiling, but when the kernel comes back up, still only one core is detected.

With the default vanilla text-based SuSE 10.1 install, it does find both cores...

Anyone have any pointers for me on what I might be missing?

Thanks!
Shaun
