[rhn-users] RedHat ES 3.0 - kernel problem

[espen.ekeroth at om.com]

The RedHat ES 3.0 is shipped with 2 different kernels:

2.4.21-9.EL
2.4.21-9.EL.smtp

Our server is a Compaq DL360 with 1 CPU.

Default the installation uses the smtp version of the kernel. For me it
looks like the kernel is faking 2 CPU's - at least "top" shows 2 CPU's.

What is the difference between the smtp kernel and the "normal" kernel?

The reason for asking, is that our application that uses intra host
messaging with tcp, shared memory and signaling dies randomly with the
smtp version, and never with the normal kernel.
