Has anyone written such a util (aside from shipping a SMP kernel on
the install floppy and having it load a UP kernel if it only finds
one processor. This would be a good thing if the processor detection
wasn't apparently dependent on the kernel being UP, but as it is you've
got a wonderful choice between processor detection and MP detection)?
>You shouldn't be using APM with a SMP kernel.
Why not? With wake-on-lan and other spiffy perversions, it seems
perfectly reasonable that a SMP kernel should be able to deal with
APM. Sure, most of the reason for having APM is so that laptops
can be frugal, but am I the only one who uses a SMP machine for
my local router (99.9% idle...) ?
