Subject: SMP Kernel

Hello,
When an SMP enabled kernel is booted on a Dual Core x86 machine ( Core 
0-1 ) I guess the Kernel is decompressed and started on core 0.
At some point in time the kernel becomes SMP aware and can then 
distribute threads on Cores 0 and 1.

Now, does the non-threaded part of the kernel with the scheduler 
continue to run solely on Core 0?

Cheers // Matias
