Red Hat / Fedora :: RHEL 5 - Kernel Requires An I586 Cpu
Oct 27, 2010
We bought a board with vortex 86x processor. we tried to install RHEL6 beta version. when we select the installation choice we were getting below error: "This kernel requires an i586 cpu, but only detected an i486 cpu. Unable to boot please use a kernel appropritate for your cpu."
We have contacted the board personal. he said(in his words)"If you need to use redhat, you have to use the config & patch file provided in the development note to develop a kernel which is suitable for redhat."

I have some programs, that will only install on i586 architecture (opposed to x86_64). My CPU is 64-bit architecture. Can I install FC12/11 with i586 kernel on the hardware? How? Any disadvantages except the fact that I'm supposedly not able to use the 64-bit feature of the CPU?

I was helping my cousin move to the GNU Linux world and I was faced with the following problem: He has a MSI nVidia GeForce FX5200 PCIe (128MB vRam) Graphics card. I followed a couple of instructions here in getting that card to work, but the drivers that I was able to load up to his 23 bit system refused to load after system boot up (white flashing letters would come up, X server refusing to load). I was only able to load the system with full 3D hardware accelerated support when I loaded the old xxxxx.i586 based kernel from the GRUB list, while the current kernel that was being used was xxxx.i686 based one.
Currently there was two kernels in the list, so I manually edited the GRUB file to change the boot identifier number from 1 (xxxx.i686) to 0 (xxxx.i586) so every time that the computer would be powered on, it would load that kernel up automatically without having to reselect it manually each time.
Yesterday, my cousin picked up his computer, he was fine and happy with his fedora core (version 11, because Version 12 had major problems with this graphics card, its on the "test" list still, and the developers of fedora, or the developers of that other 3rd party software source seems to be in the middle of testing it for FC12 compatibility)
He told me today that after he ran the "updates" for fedora and installed them, when he rebooted the system, he would see that same while characters in the top left section of the screen flashing and it would get stuck there, he told me that he was able to solve the problem by rebooting and selecting the xxxxxx.i586 kernel from the list. He also told me that he saw three kernels from the list.
For what I see here, this driver will only load with the i586 based kernel, and I also am seeing that each time that he updates his system he may have to go thru this again. My question is this: Will fedora 11 change his default kernel each time that he runs Fedora Updates? If so, what can I do to prevent that change from occurring.
Also, is there a limit on the kernels that appears on the GRUB list, if each updates brings a new kernel entry on the GRUB list, will the list get very large one day? or will Fedora remove one or more kernels, in other words, what is the maximum number of Kernels Fedora keeps on the GRUB list? and will there be a point that Fedora updates will delete that working i586 kernel leaving him with a non booting system? Or will that nvidia driver "magically" start working with some future update after the developers fix/improves what ever is keeping that nVidia driver from loading with the latest updates?

I just installed the new 2.6.27.5-37.fc9.x86_64 kernel from the updates-newkey repository, and I've discovered that the new kernel boots much slower than the 2.6.26 kernel and requires manual intervention to complete the boot sequence on my laptop.
Details:
1) My laptop is a HP dv9708us with 17" AMD Turion dual core 64bit system, 3Gb memory, two SATA drives. One drive (a Fujitsu 160Gb) was installed by HP, and I added a second (a Hitachi 320Gb) drive in the empty secondary drive bay.
2) I have Fedora installed on the secondary drive, but I boot from GRUB using the Kubuntu /boot directory on the first drive. I do that because GRUB cannot properly access the secondary drive. (GRUB reports (hd1) as avilable, but can't "see" any partitions on it.)
3) When the 2.6.26 kernel is booted, the ATA driver produces several messages about the secondary drive being "frozen" untill it reduces the access speed from 3Gb/sec to 1.5Gb/sec. Thereafter it works normally. (I asked in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...to-fix-678903/ how to fix this, but received no replies.)
4) When I boot the new 2.6.27 kernel, the boot hangs for a minute or so for each attached USB device and then appears to hang completely while trying to access the secondary ATA drive. The manual intervention that resolves the problem is to repeatedly push the "control" key, which will cause the ATA error messages, seen with the older kernel, to be displayed and the boot to finish.
5) Even with the manual intervention, the boot process requires about five minutes to complete. This is considerably slower then the boot time required by the 2.6.26 kernel on the same hardware.
6) Without the manual intervention the boot process had not completed during the time it took me to shower, shave, and get dressed this morning - about 45 minutes.

I have a small AMD Geode LX 800 (500 MHz) based Nettop that I would like to use at home as home server managing printers, a central data storage, and some other things. Only I can't install CentOS 5.5 due to an Anaconda exception at the very end of the initial setup process, right before it's supposed to start copying the files.Is it true that CentOS/RHEL requires an i686 compatible processor? As far as I know the Geode LX is only i586 and Redhat's system requirements only list x86 as necessary.

I downloaded a live KDE-CD and will install from that on hard disk. My box has 4 GB RAM so I understand I need a *-pae kernel ("Physical Address Extension") to be able to use the memory fully.
Can I install the kernel e.g. from [URL] via YAST, or does it need other libraries / software as well and so the system becomes unstable, would anybody know?

I am facing an high CPU Usage 800% in a(Quad CPU, RHEL 64 bit kernel) with my C++ application .
The details are below:
1)The C++ Application has been compiled in RHEL (2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:27:17 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)32 bit server(Quad CPU 8 cpu) in Dev lab. When this application has been tested for 12 hrs in the Dev lab, the CPU usage is varying between 20% to 50% .
However, when the above C++ application deployed in production which is RHEL (2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:56:44 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)64 bit server the CPU usage is found to be increasing constantly to 800%.
2)When the CPU reached to 800% in Production Server, we have taken the pstack of the C++ Application process by using the command pstack p [captured thread id ] and we found that the pstack is showing the high CPU
usage (800%) in below libraries:
If there is any GLIB /pthread library/any other differences between 32 bit and 64 bit kernel. Since the application has been compiled in a 32 bit kernel and deployed in 64 bit kernel. Please provide your support on the same.

The RHEL 4 update 7 installation CD installs the kernel with version 2.6.9-78.EL and therefore must contain corresponding vmlinuz and initrd.img. However I would like to have an all modules initrd that is used during installation but for a different version (2.6.9-78.0.13.EL). Is there a way in which I could obtain/make such an initrd?

Squeeze's latest update has upgraded my kernel from 2.6.32-3-686 to 2.6.32-5-686.My wireless stopped working and then I realised that I had to rebuild the wifi modules. I had followed this earlier.URL...For this new kernel, which I step of the process should I repeat? Rebuild module? Or just do a modprobe?

My F11 only works at the kernel 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586.
I have other two kernel installed, 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i586 andn 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i586.
But my fc11 cannot work with them.
So every time I start the system, I need to press tab key and choose the lower version kernel.

I have an Aldi PC with a Q8200 processor and have installed Fedora11 on this system. Regularly I get updates to install, but also updates for i586 packages, which give a conflict with the x86_64 packages already installed.Sometimes I have missed a i586 package in the update list, resulting in an error next time.Is there a script which automatically filters these i586 packages from the update list?

I just did 'yum update' on my system and got a number of errors such as this one:
Code:
Updating : xfce4-settings-4.6.1-4.fc11.i586 87/184
Error unpacking rpm package xfce4-settings-4.6.1-4.fc11.i586
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/xfce4-settings.mo;4ad11889: cpio: open
Sometimes instead of "cpio: open" it was "cpio: rename". There were a total of 18 such errors. These were listed as failures in the summary at the end. I then did another "yum update" and it redid 17 of the 18 successfully. It did not redo f-spot. Here's a snippet of the summary at the end of the first update:
Code:

Was upgrading to the newest kernel in RHEL5 from 2.6.18-164 to 2.6.18-164.10.1 but when I rebooted the machine it gave me these errors.
Unable to access resume device(/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01)
mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root
setuproot: moving /dev failed: no such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc no such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys no such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: no such file or directory
kenel panic - not syncing Attempted to kill init!
So I rebooted the machine and picked the old kernel to boot up (2.6.18-164) and everything came back up fine. I don't understand why it keeps failing when trying to boot to the new kernel. I am using the yum upgrade command, is there a different command I should be using?

My application team is asking me to generate the kernel-dump.
Here are details about my server.
OS: RHEL 4.7/32 Bit
Kernel Version: 2.6.9-89.0.23.ELsmp
Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520@ 2.27GHz
Hardware: HP Proliant 380G6 series server.
I am using Electric Cloud applications. Sometimes it creates some kernel panic and immediately got rebooted. Kernel-debuginfo rpm is not installed. In some thread, I read the kernel-debuginfo rpm's version should match with the kernel version. In my case I couldn't even find the exact version of kernel-debuginfo version.

We have not actually purchased support on a 2nd seat yet, so I can't go to them for this yet, and purchasing the seat may be silly if the machine can't run the OS.
I have tried several times to install RHEL 6 workstation onto a server machine. It has a dual drive RAID filesystem, whose configuration I had nothing to do with. The install procedes nicely but Displays a mdam error 127 before shutting down for the first real boot.
When booting a weird progress bar with at least 3 colors proceding at different rates displays for about 5 seconds followed by a very verbose kernel panic error which mentions tainted swap and scheduling while atomic. I suspect the error that caused the mess runs off screen too quickly to record.
Does anybody have a clue what might be happening? Even if I install minimal this happens so it appears to be a very low level hardware problem rather than a corrupt package.
I should mention that the machine runs on ubuntu 10.10 just fine, but my Lab PI wants to run it as a redhat system.

Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.
Raman
