I have a dell two way running 1000mhz Pentium IIIs. It has a gig of ram. I'm looking to upgrade the kernel to the latest errata stable version.

I'm currently running 2.4.7-10smp on RH 7.2.

I'm looking at the redhat site, and I see many choices:

kernel-bigmem, kernel-smp, kernel-enterprise, etc...

Are they pretty much the same kernel, but optimized for specific hardware?


You want kernel-smp*i686.rpm. (IE kernel-smp-2.4.20-18.7.i686.rpm) Bigmem, and enterprise are really the same, and are only useful to people with more than 4G of memory.
