Re: installing Red Hat 8.0 on a system with 2 processors and 3 SCSIhard drives...

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

 



The drive count I got from the SCSI bios.  The id's listed in the SCSI
bios are 0, 4 and 6.

I'm lost in you acronyms:

	SMP
	IIRC

what do these mean, and how can I install and boot the SMP kernal (S...
Multiple Processor???)

I completed the install, including putting Grub on sda0 in the MBR and
upon restart, the system used another boot loader.  Does anyone know
what this might imply?
