RedHat ES and AS kernels

[Stephen Anderson]

Due to constraints, I manually download RedHat network updates and load via
a CD. up2date/yum or any autoupdater via RHN is out of the question.

When downloading the kernel rpms from the RedHat network web pages, I can
not find a difference in the naming or size of the ES and AS kernels for
RHEL 4. Specifically the 2.6.9-55 smp kernels. I weed through the multitude
of earlier RedHat versions to finally locate the smp kernels for AS, so
maybe I am missing a better way to manually browse the updates. I wish I
could go to a web page that would offer the latest updates for a particular
RedHat version AND be able to filter on the errata for that version/update
only.

So I am left wondering what is the "best" kernel for ES (< 4 CPUs and < 8GB
MEM) and AS ( > 4 CPUs and > 16 GB MEM).

So if anyone has mastered the RHEL kernel topic:

1. What are the available kernels for RHEL 4 Advanced Server? (e.g. smp)
2. Are the kernels for RHEL 4 Enterprise Server and Advanced Server named
different?
3. Are there hugemem and largesmp kernels, and if so, which RHEL
version/architecture are those for?

TIA
