[ale] RH 6.1 and dual processors

[jj at spiderentertainment.com]

You have to recompile your kernel with SMP enabled and some binaries.

To check if the two cpus are working, do a
cat /dev/cpuinfo

You'll see each cpu listed. Each proccessor will be named starting at 0

Here's a typical output of a dual cpu machine

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 7
model name      : Pentium III (Katmai)
stepping        : 2
cpu MHz         : 501.146262

fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
