Description Chris Evans 2001-01-02 23:29:17 UTC 
I have an SMP machine.

I installed beta1, electing to install every package. Upon rebooting, I
discovered
a single processor kernel had been chosen by the installer! RH7.0 gave me
the
SMP enterprise kernel.

In case it matters, I did a slightly non-standard thing in my install. I
elected NOT
to install lilo (I already have one). I elected to create a boot floppy
instead, and
use that to launch RH7.1beta1.

Assigning to a developer.
Comment 2 Erik Troan 2001-01-08 16:37:31 UTC 
Bootdisks always use the uniprocessor kernel -- this is a bug.
Comment 3 Glen Foster 2001-01-11 21:14:15 UTC 
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
Comment 4 Erik Troan 2001-01-12 16:46:33 UTC 
As bootdisk's are designed primarily for rescuing systems, we're not going to
fix this. If you want a boot disk with a different kernel, use the mkbootdisk
command to generate one ('man mkbootdisk' for details).
