None.
If SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server is being installed with Intel
Server RAID Technology II enabled, the RAID array may not be detected after
the driver has been loaded, which results in an installation failure.
The AHCI.o module inside the operating system is loaded prior to the third
party driver, and therefore may take control of the RAID controller. This will
result in an installation failure.
Users cannot load a third party RAID driver and the AHCI driver simultaneously
in SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server; doing so may cause installation failures.
The “brokenmodule-ahci” command can prevent AHCI from loading during
installation. At the very first install screen, press F6 to load a driver. In the text
tab, type brokenmodules=ahci; this will allow the installation to complete
successfully.
In Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4, the Quad-Core Intel
Series L2 cache size is displayed as 4MB, while in BIOS setup the cache size
is displayed as 8MB.
In BIOS setup, the system reports the total L2 cache size as 8MB due to the
4MB + 4MB structure of the processor. The Quad-Core Intel
5300 Series is similar to a package of two sets, each with a 4MB L2 cache size.
In each set, the two cores share the 4MB cache. Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4
views the processor per logical CPU thread. Each logical thread (each set) has
access to only 4MB cache, and Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4 reports it as such.
The different L2 cache size display is due to the different cache size reporting
mechanisms of Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4 and BIOS setup, and is not an
incorrect display by the operating system.
