Well, it didn't work. I did get the system to boot with LILO (GRUB never worked) however, the sound card (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz) was not detected (COL 3.1 picked it up with no problem), and on boot I get "SGI XFS ... i686) so it appears it thinks I have an i686 when I have a dual AMD Athlon system. I'll go back and check the SGI site but I was under the impression the kernel was supposedly built for the system during install.No. Think about the install process. How would it ever got sufficient information to build a working kernel? They provide 4 kernels. i386 uniproc, i386 SMP, i686 uniproc and i686 SMP. You could always recompile the kernel for your CPU, post install.
I think I'll go back and install using ext2 and see what happens with the stock RH CDs. I'll sort out the XFS stuff later but it would be nice if RH supported it out of the box.It would be nice, but they don't. I think you'd save yourself alot of lot of time if you went with the XFS install, and just compiled a new kernel for your specific hardware. The whole point of doing the XFS install is to get a native XFS filesystem, which you got. YOu need to decide what's more important on install, a customized kernel, or XFS.
