HA: HA: What will be the version of RHEL5 kernel?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hmm.. default kernel-smp. Computer on my workplace with single processor and it can't boot with kernel-smp (kenrel panic) in RHEL 4 AS. May be I can add some options in grub to boot it with this kernel? Or next version of kernel fixes this trouble.

I've took one more look at test install I have at work.  There is  
kernel-xen package, and userland stuff in xen package.  However, they  
are in separate directory on install CD from the rest of the system  
(you'll find them in VT directory).  Strangely, kernel-xen-devel,  
xen-libs and xen-devel are part of main install tree.

Also, kernel-smp package is removed.  The default kernel is now SMP  
enabled.  I'd guess people with single processors will complain for  
not having a kernel "optimized" for single processor machines anymore.  
  However, I'd also guess performance difference between uni-processor  
and SMP kernel is small enough in recent kernels that it doesn't  
warrant for separate kernel packages anymore.  As I said to Melman  
about his new brown spot, "it's all in your head".

Other than default kernel and kernel-xen, there's also kernel-PAE for  
PAE capable CPUs which supports up to 64GB of memory (the default  
kernel is limited to 4GB).
