Redhat (rhel v2.1) bootup problem with linux (linux vs linux-up)
I am a first time Linux user, installing rhel (redhat enterprise linux 2.1) myself on a server already having a windows partition (C: and D:).
After installing the Linux, I cannot boot it up normally. There are two choice in the menu, linux and linux-up, default is linux. I can boot it up with linux-up or usin a boot disk but NOT linux, I got frozen mid way thru. Code:
... I have removed all the Linux parition during the installation, and set up like the following: Code:
dev/hda1 1 to 6, 47 mb, ext2, mount /boot, format Any help or suggestions is apperciated. Thank you, N@mGoR |
Sounds like the installer assumed your system was dual-cpu (or more) and installed the SMP kernel as the default. Linux-UP is Linux UniProcessor. Typically both will work but in this case there may be some thing is giving the SMP kernel a problem.
If the UP kernel works, go with it. |
i don't have an smp machine, but i believe you need to enable systemetric multiprocessing in the bios; if it is not enabled, it will cause the kernel some problems
