Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4 and BIOS setup display a different L2 cache size for the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Problem In Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4, the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series L2 cache size is displayed as 4 MB; while in the BIOS setup, the cache size is displayed as 8 MB. Implication In the BIOS setup, the system reports the total L2 cache size as 8 MB due to the 4MB + 4MB structure of the processor. The Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 Series is similar to a package of two sets, each with a 4 MB L2 cache size. In each set, the two cores share the 4 MB cache. Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4 views the processor per logical CPU thread. Each logical thread (each set) has access to only 4 MB cache, and Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4 reports it as such. Status The different L2 chache size display is due to the different cache size reporting mechanisms of Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4 and BIOS setup, and is not an incorrect display by the operating system. Workaround None. 36. Change Logo Utility causes BIOS corruption Problem Implication Any board flashed with a version of BIOS release R0064 edited with the Change Logo Utility no longer boots. The board hangs with "Off-Off-RedGreen" shown on the Post Code LEDs at the rear of the board. You cannot use the Change Logo Utility with BIOS release R0064. Status This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0066 and later releases. Workaround None. 37. Microsoft Windows System Event Viewer* may record ID 11 Error Event Problem In the Microsoft Windows* operating system, the Event Viewer's System Log may record an error event; the source is LSI_SAS and the event ID is 11. Implication Status The problem may occur because the controller is sending an unsupported command to the enclosure management device. This error does not affect functionality; therefore, you can ignore the error. This erratum was fixed in Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II firmware 20
