HP DL585 RHEL smp kernel boot
I have installed the HP Support pack and done only a simple install. The system has the following attributes:
P400 SmartArray
4 dual-core AMD EMT64 proc's
12GB RAM
Kernel version: 2.6.9-5
I can successfully boot from a non-smp kernel. I err out only what attempting to boot from smp.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Keep in mind, I can successfully boot from the non-smp kernel. Is there something I missed in setup?

Re: HP DL585 RHEL smp kernel boot
You are using the BUNDLED RHEL4 kernel, which was released in early 2005. You apparently have no updates on this system.
According to the certification matrix for DL585 G2 (www.hp.com/go/linux, then look for certifications and then Proliant servers). You will see that the MINIMUM kernel revision for RHEL4 is:
Minimum Supported Red Hat Updates
├в ┬в Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 initial release
├в ┬в Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3
├в ┬в Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 8 + 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL kernel (x86)
├в ┬в Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 8 (AMD64/EM64T)

Re: HP DL585 RHEL smp kernel boot
The system in this case was being put under support as of today in order to pull updates from RHN. I'll post back with what I find after updating this system.
Thanks again!
