Hi,

linux kernel 2.6.9 does not support the Intel nehalem architecture. Also RHEL 5.0 , 5.1 and 5.2 doesn't support Intel Nehalem CPU´s.

Only RHEL 5.3 / CentOS 5.3 does support Intel Nehalem based CPU´s.

Best regards,

Morten

Betreff: FC3 (kernel 2.6.9) on R710

FC3 (kernel 2.6.9 at Dell R710 with dual X5570 (quad core)) shows the following errors during boot up (W/WO HT enabled at BIOS)

...
Processor #23 invalid (max 16)
....
ACPI: [APIC:0x00] ignored 16 entries of 32 found
....
CPU: Unsupported number of the siblings 16

Also, the /proc/cpuinfo shows only one physical CPU (total 8 CPU with HT enabled, 4 CPU with HT disabled) is used
Physical id : 0
Siblings      : 1

Any patches for these problems.
