ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for configuring an operating system on a multi-processor computer system. A generic kernel of the operating system is created for use on all of the processors of the multi-processor computer system. Tables within the generic kernel of the operating system are allocated that are large enough to be used with any of the processors of the multi-processor computer system. The generic kernel of the operating system is then copied to a plurality of data storage devices of the multi-processor computer system, wherein each of the data storage devices is associated with a different, specified one of the processors. Each of the copied generic kernels are modified to ensure that the allocated tables therein are correctly configured for the specified one of the processors of the multi-processor computer system.
