I'm installing on an HP with dual processors. (And a dual processor Acer after that.) Craig mentions "repeat for smp kernel" in the context of compiling the megaraid driver first with kernel-devel-xx.i586 and then again with kernel-devel-xx.686 and loading them at install time in a special sequence. Is there something similar that needs to be done with kernel-smp-devel-xx.i586/686? Compile what? Load when? Suppose I can get the megaraid scsi driver working and Centos4.4 installed and running: can I ignore the smp stuff and sort it out later?
