Basically that kernel from RH61 has a problem with the secondary PCI bus and also has a problem with lockups. SP10775 or SP10776 (both are the same, just distributed in different formats: .exe and .tar format). Basically you need the patches. Follow the instructions to bring your system up on the 2nd or 3rd floppy and follow the directions to patch your system. Here is a clipping from allfiles.txt from www.compaq.com/support/files/server ... softpacks ... all softpack listing from text file: <<snip>> SP10776.EXE ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp10501-11000/sp10776.exe 0K 1, January 2000 TITLE: Compaq Redhat 6.1 Diskettes VERSION: 6.1 LANGUAGE: English PRODUCTS AFFECTED: Compaq ProLiant servers OS: Redhat 6.1 SUPERSEDES: NA DESCRIPTION Creates Three (3) diskettes containing the Compaq Redhat 6.1 diskettes. The floppies address two known issues in the Red Hat 6.1 stock distribution kernel. The first issue does not allow detection of PCI devices on the secondary/tertiary PCI bus. The second issue may cause a lockup when a NC3131 dual port network adapter is installed. It is recommended that the floppies be used on all ProLiant servers when installing Red Hat 6.1 stock distribution. TO CREATE Three (3) Compaq Redhat 6.1 DISKETTES: 1. After downloading the SoftPaq, copy it to an empty directory and change to that directory. 2. From that drive and directory, untar the softpaq file: tar xvf SP10776.tar The following files should be created: cpq-rh-install.img cpq-kfloppy-smp.img cpq-kfloppy-up.img Readme.txt 3. Obtain three (3) 1.44 MB diskettes 4. Insert a diskette into the disk drive. Use dd to put these images onto three seperate diskettes. dd if=cpq-rh-install.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k dd if=cpq-kfloppy-smp.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k dd if=cpq-kfloppy-up.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k 5. At this point, the diskettes have been created and are ready to use. 6. Refer to README for instructions on using the three (3) diskettes. Copyright 1989-2000, Compaq Computer Corporation.

It seems that since I started working with linux on Compaq it became my favorite thing - to write here about troubles and errors =)). Ok. I've got ml370 + 2 x 933 pIII CPU's + integrated scsi. Problem : I have succesfully installed linux 6.1. After rebooting it was working perfectly for some minutes only, then it said , that something happened and hang. After next rebooting it stoped during the drive consistency checking - it said : CPU : 0 , blahblah... Aiee - killing interrupt handler, kernel panic: Attempted to kill idle task ! Yep, another thing. I've installed 4 linux software raid devices. Could that cause a problem? And, the main question itself. Is there any issue about multi-CPU configuration or something for ml370 and redhat 6.1 version 2.2.12-20 ?
