dgp.toronto.edu Setting up LILO As stated earlier, I decided to use LILO rather than the NT Loader to boot the machine. Before rebooting the machine after installing, make sure that both the Linux and the NT partitions are mentioned in the file /etc/lilo.conf. You can do this by pressing "Alt-F2" and logging in on a different virtual console. The config file should look something like this: boot=/dev/sda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 root=/dev/sda2 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.32.img read-only other=/dev/sda1 label=WinNT table=/dev/sda If you change it, remember to run "lilo" to install it. Compiling an SMP Kernel This section is kind of sketchy. In order for Linux to use both processors, you have to compile an SMP kernel. I downloaded the source for 2.0.33. It's in ~tkarkani/download. There's an SMP.txt in the Documentation directory. Essentially, you just configure it as usual, and then edit the Makefile and uncomment the "SMP = 1" line. It seems to be fairly stable on hades. When configuring the kernel, remember to add PS/2 mouse support. You should maybe configure LILO so that you can load either kernel. Have a look at hades:/etc/lilo.conf.
