IBM x445 Server and linux kernel 2.6.x

cereal83 · 01-09-2006, 09:33 AM

Hey all,

Well I am playing with a IBM x445 server that is a 8 cpu system with 14 harddrives in raid 10 and has 24 GB of ram and based of Intel Xeon MP's

I am wondering what Subarchitecture should be selected when compiling the kernel using IBM
x445 with Kernel 2.6.X. Like so far I have been using the x440 option but I am wondering if that is the right choice and if something would be a better choice. Please if you can offer any help, it would be great.

Thanks,
Cereal

Just checking up to see if anybody knows anything about this kind of stuff. I am sure somebody here has worked with an 8-way system before.

Thanks
