[plug] SMP queries ...

[Trevor Phillips]

Two queries:

Any suggestions on how to set up a system (pref Debian) with both an SMP
kernel, and a non-SMP kernel, with modules support? My understanding is the
modules need to be recompiled for SMP/Non-SMP, and the default location for
them is /lib/modules/<kernel version>/*, which makes no distinction between SMP
and Non-SMP. Is there an easy way to have two Module dirs for the same kernel
vers and tell the kernel to use a different one?

Secondly, any ideas on monitoring CPU activity? Basically, I'm after "top" or
similar meter (pref that doesn't require XWin for logging), which logs to a
file and can display an analysis/graph of stored entries... I'm after the
utilisation of SMP when running certain apps (Ok, so it's Quake3Arena Demo,
mainly. ^_^), where watching a procmeter in a window doesn't cut it.
