OpenFiler installation problem SMP kernel
December 1, 2007 – 17:02 by Hannes Van de VelAfter installing OpenFiler 32 bit on a dual CPU mainboard with only 1 CPU installed (I think this is the cause of the problem) you get something like;
Int 6: CR2 00000000 err 00000000 EIP c04098fa CS 00000060 flags 00010046
Stack: 000037e0 c041aa2c c03ff15f 00000000 c041aa2c c043634c 00000000
c0407b74
Just boot with non-smp kernel.
Like this;
In GRUB press e, edit the 2nd and 3rd line (again press e for each line) and remove “.smp” (.smp.x86.i686 -> .x86.i686).
Scroll up to the first line and press b to boot.
This should allow you to boot. You have to do this on each boot, unless you modify /boot/grub/grub.conf (vi /boot/grub/grub.conf) to reflect the changes as made above.
