    knoppix loading SMP kernel on my single processor machine

    Not much else to add except I'm new to any unix like environment
    and have no idea why knoppix is trying to load a smp kernel
    on my non-smp machine (and spitting out a error message when
    it can't find any extra processors)
    it doesn't do this on my old amd k6
    but it does it on my new athlon mp
    I'm just wondering if this is normal
    behavior or if its a error of some kind
    I'm pretty sure this isn't a multi-processor
    motherboard I'm using after all
    its just a low-end hewlett packard i bought
    at walmart

    Probably not eh?

    Boot like this:

    boot: knoppix lang=us nosmp (pul any other cheat codes you may need).

    It does that on recent Dell systems too.
