Linux causes Proliant CPU failure?

Ambrose Earle — Mon, 17 Mar 2003 22:02:11 GMT

I have tried installing RedHat 8 on two Proliant 5000's and an 1850, and in all cases rebooting after the install indicates that all CPUs except the primary have failed. I have to go into the system utilities and indicate that I have corrected the problem for them to work again.

Any ideas?

Are you specifically installing the SMP Kernel? I saw the reverse of this on Laptops where RH installed the SMP.

RH 8 has a bunch of issues, if you are doing servers consider SuSE Enterprise or RH Adv Srv.

did you check bugzilla and/or HP site?

In fact, RH8.1 is very close - we'll se it in 3-4 weeks

I finally finished the install and after I again reset the CPUs and rebooted into Linux using the smp kernel the problem has disappeared.

Apparently the install kernel causes some issues for the early smp proliants?
