Description:

This package includes a SMP version of the Linux 2.6.12 kernel. It is
required only on machines with two or more CPUs, although it should work
fine on single-CPU boxes.

For instructions for update, see:
http://www.mandriva.com/security/kernelupdate

!! The multimedia kernel is an experimental kernel based on the mdk kernels,
with added patches. Some of them may/will never end up in the main
mdk kernels due to their experimental nature. Some refer to this
kernel as a 'hackkernel' ...
Use these kernels at your own risk !!

There are also some experimental features that usually not included
in the standard build process, if you want to test them you'll have
to rebuild the kernel by passing it one of the following options:
"--with ruby" includes support for multiple local users
"--with swsusp2" includes software suspend v2.1.x
