dump from anaconda
I'm guessing this is a SMP capable Pentium motherboard? There is no kernel-smp for that arch in 8.0, so you'll want to remove the kernel-smp package from the system before you upgrade. Make sure you bootloader setup does not refer to this kernel. It is an SMP capable motherboard ( http://premiersupport.dell.com/docs/dta/DGX5ME1/00000003.htm ) redhat 7.0 automatically switched into SMP when I added the 2nd proc. I had to take the 2nd proc out to get the 8.0 install to not crash. 8.0 is now installed with the Server template. i'll check the hcl to see which architectures are supported, but it seems like i586 shoud be on there. SMP i586 is not supported in 8.0 and later releases. |
