Hello,
I'm wondering why Anaconda fails to install kernel-smp in certain
cases. I've seen other threads about certain BIOS or DMI information
being incorrect and Anaconda will fail to detect an SMP system.
When I load the Sun V20z from a DOS partition with LOADLIN, etc.
Anaconda fails to install kernel-smp. If I have an already running
machine and put the installation kernel and initrd into GRUB to
re-kickstart the machine, the kernel-smp is installed.
When using the LOADLIN method on other SMP Opterons and Xeons,
kernel-smp installs just fine.
Does anyone have an idea of what exactly I need to get fixed in the Sun
V20z BIOS or DMI to get this working? Unfortunately, our PXE
installation method is Altiris-based and in order to install Linux, it
deploys a small C: partition, copies down LOADLIN, VMLINUZ and INITRD,
AUTOEXEC.BAT, etc and then reboots the machine from that C: partition.
Thanks for any pointers.
/Brian/
