How can I determine whether my kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 is for SMP, or for
uniprocessing? I have only one processor on HP OmniBook X2.

Sounds pretty similar to what I have ... some 20% of files are not OK
after switching power off and reboot...

My grub.conf is generated by anaconda, Is it fine to edit it manually?

I have only one entry for kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 in grub.conf file. It
is quite similar to the entry of well working kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3
(except the img file off-course).

Would you suggest just to kill this RPM and to wait for the next update?

Thanks,
Slava
