installer should pick the correct kernel version. If not, use up2date (the
RH9 CDs are already out of date) and it will grab the appropriate architecture

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [CLUE-Tech] Which RedHat SMP
Version</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've managed to acquire a SuperMicro P6DLS - dual
processor</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>system with dual Intel PII 450 MHz
CPU's. I want to load it up with </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Redhat 9 </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>and play
with SMP. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Going to a Redhat mirror, there are SMP kernels
for i586 and i686.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>want to make
sure that I have the right kernel but am a little</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>unclear as to which to install.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The server model id would lead me to believe that
I should</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>use the i686 download. "P6DLS" - I believe
stands for P6,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>dual-processor, 440LX chipset, SCSI.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OTOH, I thought that PII's were considered i586
generation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>processors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FINALLY, to my questions ...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Any thoughts as to which kernel I should
run?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Help me understand the differences in
the kernels. Are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> there going to be
catastrophic problems (damage) if I</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> attempt to use the
wrong one or just performance issues?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) For future reference... are there
"concrete rules" to apply</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> do help decide which
kernel series i386, i486, etc to use </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> with a processor
series PII, PIII, P4, etc.?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any information. I've been
looking but could use</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>your knowledge and feedback.</FONT></DIV>
