Introduction to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kernel package __linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux has the following types of kernels (some of which will not appear in some schemas): kernel-contains a generic kernel with the following features: Single processor support (single processor on multiprocessor systems only) multiprocessor support on Intel EM64T systems (only in R Ed Hat Enterprise Linux 3 supports 4GB memory (1) Kernel-boot on Intel and AMD x86 systems-contains the kernel for installation (only x86) single processor support Kernel-*devel (only in red Hat enterp Rise Linux 4-contains kernel header files instead of Kernel-source Kernel-doc-contains kernel documents previously in/usr/src/linux{-*}/documentation Kernel-hugemem (only in i686)- Add above KERNEL-SMP: 4GB/4GB split-~4GB kernel virtual memory and each process ~4GB virtual memory for 16GB memory or above system KERNEL-SMP-plus on kernel: multiprocessor support (all schemas) PAE-physically Site extensions (Physical address Extension) (only Intel x86) to 16GB memory (2) Kernel-pcmcia-cs (only in red Hat Enterprise Linux 3)-PCMCIA card Support Kern El-source (only in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3)-all source code with kernel kernel-utils-tools for controlling kernel and system hardware kernel-*unsupported (only in red Hat Enterpris E Linux 3/Some architectures with Red Hat unsupported modules will not be installed in the system installation will not be upgraded and modified

Kernel-hugemem must be used in x86 architectures, such as system memory greater than 16GB.
Supports 64GB on the x86_64 and AMD64 architectures and supports 6GB on EM64T architectures.
