# rpm -ivh --nodeps --nosignature */*-PAE-*.rpm
- Install KMP common packages.
# rpm -ivh ---nodeps --nosignature */*noarch.rpm
- Restart the Operation System.
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.
