Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide 5.2 - linux.meuhobby.com

Chapter 4. Installing on Intel® and AMD Systems
using some other method (for example, from a boot CD-ROM) and then copy the kernel to
an MS-DOS partition. LOADLIN is available from
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/dualboot/
and associated mirror sites.
SYSLINUX
SYSLINUX is an MS-DOS program very similar to LOADLIN. It is also available from
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/loaders/
and associated mirror sites.
Commercial boot loaders
You can load Linux using commercial boot loaders. For example, System Commander and
Partition Magic are able to boot Linux (but still require GRUB to be installed in your Linux
root partition).
Note
Boot loaders such as LOADLIN and System Commander are considered to be
third-party boot loaders and are not supported by Red Hat.
19.4. SMP Motherboards and GRUB
In previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux there were two different kernel versions, a
uniprocessor version and an SMP version. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0.0 the kernel is
SMP-enabled by default and will take advantage of multiple core, hyperthreading, and multiple
CPU capabilities when they are present. This same kernel can run on single CPUs with a single
core and no hyperthreading.
20. Network Configuration
If you do not have a network device, this screen does not appear during your installation and
you should advance to Section 21, “Time Zone Configuration”.
