If it is x86 system, do the following steps.
Boot from Installation CD/DVD media and 'boot:' is displayed, type and enter following strings.
linux apic=bigsmp
(*2)NECESSARY
Disable EDAC modules. EDAC module will prevent hardware from collecting IPMI logs which is necessary for hardware support.
- Add following sentences to /etc/modprobe.conf.
install *_edac /bin/true
install edac_* /bin/true
- Restart the Operation System.
- Check that string "edac" is not shown in the result of lsmod.
