Serial Communication Screen Table 1-8 lists the updated information on the default Failsafe Baud Rate. Table 1-8. Serial Communication Screen Option Option Failsafe Baud Rate (115200 default) Description Displays the failsafe baud rate used for console redirection when the baud rate cannot be negotiated automatically with the remote terminal. This rate should not be adjusted. Operating System Information Enumeration of NICs Linux operating system versions that use the udev kernel device manager enumerate the NICs differently than earlier Linux versions that used the devfs device manager. Although this does not affect system functionality, when using Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® (version 4 or version 5) or SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10 operating systems, the NICs are enumerated in reverse: NIC1 is configured as eth1 instead of eth0, and NIC2 is configured as eth0 instead of eth1. For information on how to change the default device enumerations, see the "Network Interface Card Naming" white paper available at linux.dell.com. RHEL - Incorrect Processor Information • If an Intel Xeon 54xx processor is installed in a system running RHEL Version 4 Update 5 and Demand-Based Switching is enabled in the BIOS, cat/proc/cpuinfo and cat/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuxx/cpufreq/scaling_ cur_freq displays an incorrect processor frequency. (The actual processor speed is not affected.) • If an Intel Xeon 54xx processor is installed in a system running RHEL Version 3 Update 9, incorrect processor information is displayed in /proc/cpuinfo. (The actual processor speed is not affected.) This behavior will be corrected in a future RHEL 4Update. Information Update 23
