RBSU requirement for Linux deployment
To properly install some versions of the Linux x64 operating system, the Linux x64 HPET Workaround
selection in RBSU must be enabled. If this step is not performed, a kernel panic can occur during boot.
The following operating systems are affected:
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 x86_64
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 x86_64
• SUSE SLES9 SP3 x86_64
To avoid the kernel panic issue with these operating systems, perform the following steps:
1. Access RBSU ("Using RBSU" on page 40).
2. Select the Advanced Options menu.
3. Set the Linux x64 HPET Workaround selection to Enabled.
4. Save the changes and exit the utility.
HP is working with Linux providers to address this problem in future revisions of these operating systems.
This option may not be required with newer revisions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server.
