Action: No action is required. This occurrence does not impact the installation of NetWare.

During installation of Sun Solaris, the system locks up or a panic error occurs

Action: Disable ACPI support in Sun Solaris. Refer to the Sun website (http://www.sun.com) for documentation on how to disable ACPI.

Operating system issues with Intel® dual-core processors (Hyper-Threading enabled)

Some versions of Microsoft® Windows® and distributions of Linux may hang during OS installation, fail to complete OS installation, or fail to boot after installation on servers with either three or four Intel® dual- core processors installed.

Action:

Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003-based media

•System may hang during installation or during boot. Windows Server™ 2003 SP1 Slipstream does not exhibit this issue.

•If SP1 Slipstream media is not available, the base media installation can be performed using one of the following methods:

•Install the OS with only one or two processor(s)

•Disable Hyper-Threading in RBSU, then apply SP1 before adding the additional processor(s) and re-enabling Hyper-Threading

Linux distributions

•Additional information and the appropriate solutions for the Linux distributions (if any) can be found at the HP website (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/processor-notes.html).
