[LUG] Kernel errors...

[Neil Stone <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peeps,

When i compile my kernel i get an annoyance if i don't include SMP 
support, the actual message is below;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(good old GPM)

I don't use Intel procesors (after a blew up 2 in my first PC) nore do i 
use SMP ! however if i don't incluse SMP support the kernel will fail to 
compile. I am using Kernel 2.4.16, AMD K6-2 500.

Can anyone help me out with this as it's bloody annoying ?

TIA
