[Planetlab-users] dual core processor for planetlab nodes

[Marc E. Fiuczynski]

Hi Lei,

Mark Huang found a bug in our kernel that prevented us from upgrading to
SMP.

We'll add your nodes to the set where we'll deploy our 2.6.17 based kernel
with SMP support.

Marc

p.s., this is more of a support vs. users mailing list question.
