This is an issue with some BIOS. The installer uses some assembly language routines to probe for a motherboard that is capable of SMP. This has been found to fail on some boards. To work around this you can after rebooting run the following commands. Mount install media and change into /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS and: rpm -Uvh kernel-smp-2.2.5-15.i386.rpm From inside the /boot directory run: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15smp.img 2.2.5-15smp Then you need to edit lilo.conf and change the following: change image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15 to image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15smp and also change: initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img to initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15smp.img Save the new file and run the lilo command from the prompt. You will need to re-boot the machine for the changes to take place. |
