hi Mike

RHEL Configuration limits
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/details/limits/

kernel-smp supports up to 16 CPUs according to this page, up to 32 
according to http://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/presentations/cos.htm
the presentation 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update'

kernel-smp supports up to 8 logical CPUs on x86_64
kernel-largesmp supports up to 64 logical CPUs on x86_64

GFS / Cluster Suite kernel modules are available for all of these, 
including kernel-largesmp).
