SYSLINUX

SYSLINUX is an MS-DOS program very similar to LOADLIN. It is also available from

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/loaders/

and associated mirror sites.

Co mmercial b o ot lo ad ers

You can load Linux using commercial boot loaders. For example, System Commander and

Partition Magic are able to boot Linux (but still require GRUB to be installed in your Linux

root partition).

Note

Boot loaders such as LOADLIN and System Commander are considered to be third-party boot

loaders and are not supported by Red Hat.

4 .20.4 . SMP Mot herboards and GRUB

In previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux there were two different kernel versions, a

uniprocessor version and an SMP version. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 the kernel is SMP-

enabled by default and will take advantage of multiple core, hyperthreading, and multiple CPU

capabilities when they are present. This same kernel can run on single CPUs with a single core and

no hyperthreading.
