The kernels you list are from the 32-bit distro. Which distro do you
have installed? You can't just install the 32-bit distro and then try
to throw the 64-bit kernel on it.
If you have installed the 64-bit distro then it should have installed
the correct kernel automatically but basically it's as simple as this:
kernel-2.4.21-27.0.4.EL.x86_64 is for AMD64 (UP)
kernel-smp-2.4.21-27.0.4.EL.x86_64 is for AMD64 (SMP)
kernel-2.4.21-27.0.4.EL.ia32e is for Intel EM64T (SMP)
Technically both the x86_64 and the ia32e kernels are x86_64 kernels,
but EM64T technology was added after AMD64 was already shippingand
rather than risk breaking the existing x86_64 AMD support Redhat decided
to roll a separate kernel for the EM64T technology. If I'm not mistaken
Intel was calling it ia32e before they came up with the EM64T marketing
name so that's my guess where the kernel name came from.
Hope that helps.
Later,
Tom
