Installing a fresh base system on a dual processor PowerPC system, such as in my case a QuickSilver PowerMac G4 with dual 800MHz CPU's will fail SMP detection and instead install a non-SMP kernel by default. Installing the SMP kernel metapackage after the system install is done detects the dual-processor configuration normally. Here is the system immediately after installation: pengc99@baccus:~$ uname -r 2.6.32-5-powerpc pengc99@baccus:~$ Now install the SMP kernel: root@baccus:~# apt-get install linux-image-powerpc-smp root@baccus:~# apt-get install linux-image-powerpc-smp <!-- lots of installing stuff here --!> root@baccus:~# Now reboot and check kernel: root@baccus:~# uname -r 2.6.32-5-powerpc-smp root@baccus:~# -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
