Re: centos 5.3 dl380 g3
what type of kernel are you using, check if your kernel have SMP support.

Re: centos 5.3 dl380 g3
I also noticed you don't have "apic" in your flags section, like my machines do. And that everything to do with your MPS table, so if you left it off, that's probably expected.
One more - there is a document I found on setting up VMWare esx server for ProLiant servers, which specifically addresses the MPS table entries for installing and booting, and references crashes regarding same. Since VMWare is a Linux OS, it might just be the ticket you need:
http://virtrix.blogspot.com/2006/07/hp-proliant-and-compaq-mps-table-bios.html
Also, it's interesting to note that they really seem to like "Windows 2000" as the OS type for 3 different OS variants. You might want to try it for Linux too, just to see.
Another suggestion - try RH4 instead of RH5, I know that one works, I'm running them.
OK, I just saw another article for setting vmware on RH using apic. They say to use "windows 2000" as the OS as well.
Here's the link:
http://vmtoday.com/2009/03/dl380-bios-configuration-for-vmware/
Good luck!

... 3 more entries just like the above... 2 per processor showing 4 total, showing that hyperthreading is working, and apic is in place.

Re: centos 5.3 dl380 g3
There were lots of different CPUs used in the DL380 G3.
You cpuinfo output shows:
siblings : 1
I think that means that yours aren't capable of HyperThreading, although it's odd that you see the ht flag. Are you sure that HyperThreading was enabled correctly in the BIOS ?

Cheers,

Re: centos 5.3 dl380 g3
But Rob, I think maybe he has to turn it off to get Linux to boot, (not to load) and that's how he got us the /proc/cpuinfo output. I believe that's also the case because you'll notice that the "apic" flag is missing from his cpuinfo report.
