[cod] [COD] SMP Kernels

[Cpt. Kirk]

Take a look into the boot.msg and you will find, that only one cpu is 
initialized.
Install a new kernel, reboot an you will find you are able to use both 
cpu´s.
What´s wrong with a smp kernel? I use it for years and all server, AMD 
and Intel, are running
fast and stable.
