My plan is to boot up a qemu smp machine and install FC5 - this way the installer will detect the 2 cpus and install the smp kernel. I tried to boot up a machine with 2 cpus, using "qemu -m 512M -hda disc.img -smp 2 -cdrom FC5-disc1.iso -no-kqemu -boot d". When I do this, a blank console pops up - but nothing happens beyond that. The console is blank and the installation doesnt seem to progress. If I try the above command without the -smp 2 option, I am able to see the welcome screen and installation progresses. Is there something else I need to do so that I can use the smp option. I am running qemu on Ubuntu Hardy Heron Thanks, Girish
