SuSE Pro 9.3 on a Intel Xeon server freezing
Hi All, I have a HP ProLiant DL380 G4 server with dual Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz procs. I built the box with the SuSE Pro 9.3 CDs and now I am trying to do a kernel compilation. When I do "make cloneconfig" and look at the .config file created, I see that the "Processor family" is showing as Pentium-II/Celeron(pre-Coppermine) instead of Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/Xeon. Why is this? I also have a ProLiant DL 380G3 which has the default kernel's "Processor family" as 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX. I did compile a newer kernel on that system with the "Processor family" set to "Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/Xeon", but now the box does not seem to be stable. It has already froze twice in the last 5 days and I do not get any errors etc. in any of the logs. Any suggestions in that regard also would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, Prakash

Because the default kernel used to compile the supplied kernel is the Pentium-II. And any YOU supplied kernels will be the same. If you use a custom kernel you will always need to compile your own kernel. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Just looked at mine ML330 G3 HT Xeon 2.6 GHz and I have the SMP kernel installed and it is using the M586 processor in the kernel build. I would think that the DL380 G4 would also be using the HT processor is it not? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Actually that is my question. How come the default kernel is Pentium-II instead of P4 Xeon. Is this normal? Prakash

Because there are still enough PII, PIII and older VIA EPIA machines around. Philipp
