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?

CPU type is set to Pentium-4 or Pentium-M ? (either works here).

I'm not getting the CPU Type options here, just the "Processor Family" which is set to Intel EM64T. I think the CPU type options are only available if I create a 32-bit kernel instead of the 64-bit one I'm working on here.

Thanks!
Shaun
