Hey, I got RH7 and I'm wondering if this is an SMP kernel by default or not? I'd like to install the nvidia drivers and need to know! http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

I've been poking around the Redhat site and can't seem to find an answer.

Do a psudeo recompile of your kernel and check it -- most likely not though.

Do a uname -a - Redhat used to put in a SMP kernel even if you had a dual mobo with one cpu (version 6 did this).

I would assume that it is, because all of RedHat's default scripts (specifically the init script that writes /etc/issue) allow for multiple processors and don't assume that you would want to (or be able to) recompile your kernel to add support.
