-To set up SMP
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Configure the kernel and answer Y to CONFIG_SMP.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you are using LILO, it is handy to have both SMP and non-SMP
|
|
|
-kernel images on hand. Edit /etc/lilo.conf to create an entry
|
|
|
-for another kernel image called "linux-smp" or something.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The next time you compile the kernel, when running a SMP kernel,
|
|
|
-edit linux/Makefile and change "MAKE=make" to "MAKE=make -jN"
|
|
|
-(where N = number of CPU + 1, or if you have tons of memory/swap
|
|
|
- you can just use "-j" without a number). Feel free to experiment
|
|
|
-with this one.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Of course you should time how long each build takes :-)
|
|
|
-Example:
|
|
|
- make config
|
|
|
- time -v sh -c 'make clean install modules modules_install'
|
|
|

|
|
|
-If you are using some Compaq MP compliant machines you will need to set
|
|
|
-the operating system in the BIOS settings to "Unixware" - don't ask me
|
|
|
-why Compaqs don't work otherwise.
