Hi All,
I have what seems like a simple question.
I have a Dell PowerEdge 1300 which has a dual processor motherboard but is only fitted with one processor and some sort of 'dummy' board in the 2nd processor slot.
Having just installed Redhat 6.1 on the machine I find that it has installed 2.2.12-20smp by default (yes, I know that's a redhat-ism).
My question is; Do you see a problem running the smp kernel with a single processor installed ?
Excuse my ignorance, I have searched the archives and come up empty on this subject. I just have no idea what implications might be in running the smp kernel and as this machine is going to be a rather well used production squid server, I don't want it falling in a heap because I 'assumed' everything would be fine. By the way, the machine won't have a 2nd processor installed anytime soon.
Any pointers or comments would be most appreciated.
Regards, Brad.
