Hi,
I own a laptop which has an Intel SU4100 (http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=43568), a dual core CPU and has 4 Gb of RAM. The Fedora 12 install DVD, picks up the PAE kernel for my machine while I expected a SMP, PAE enabled kernel instead. Is it possible to manually select such a kernel, during an install? Is it possible to change the "kernel configuration" so that the next yum update picks up the SMP enabled one?

We don't ship separate UP/SMP kernel anymore (and have not for a while), it is detected at runtime.
Also for this system I recommend using x86_64.
P.S: This is off topic on this list btw. you should ask such question on the fedora-list rather than fedora-devel-list.
Hi,
while), it is detected at runtime.
When installing the system, right? So it's done once? I believe grub has a static configuration which indicates the location of the kernel image.
Also for this system I recommend using x86_64.
I don't remember the installer giving me the choice between running a PAE 32bit kernel, or a x86_64 kernel on my machine.

Obviously, because it doesn't do that. You download the x86_64 if you want that, or the i686 if you want 32-bit. And I concur, it'd be better if you go 64-bit.

No, there is only one kernel image ... the kernel itself detects whether you are running on a SMP system or not. There is no need for a different kernel image anymore.

You'd have to download the x86_64 install DVD instead of i686 one.
