Crap! I totally forgot that I need ACPI support in the kernel for an |
| 2 |
SMP system to work the way I expected. I guess I can load my .config |
| 3 |
file, edit it inside menuconfig, and recompile the kernel. I forgot - |
| 4 |
do I need to clean out any of the stuff from this kernel before I can |
| 5 |
recompile it, or can I simply re-make it? |

I have a couple of questions also about some of the dmesg output (see |
| 8 |
dmesg.txt attached)... |

1. Bug in the BIOS? I upgraded to the latest BIOS from Intel's site |
| 11 |
before I began Gentoo installation. I guess this isn't too crucial of |
| 12 |
a bug? |

2. What is this PCI jabber? Anything serious? It seems |
| 21 |
inconsequential, but I just wanted to ask anyway. |

3. I chose the Preemptive mode for the kernel - is that a good choice? |

Thanks for all the replies - they were all very helpful. |
