After you install the Linux OSs listed in Table 7-1, replace the original kernel with the one of the ClousOS. Table 7-2 lists the path to kernel files of OSs that support the CloudOS.

The rpm kernel file of the CentOS 4.7 (32- or 64-bit) is the same as that of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 (32- or 64-bit).
To replace the kernel file of each Linux OS, perform the following steps:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS
The following procedure uses the SMP kernel file of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 (32-bit) as an example.
Replace other rpm kernel files in the same way.
Step 1 Log in to the VM as the root user.
Step 2 Run the following commands to check whether the OS uses the 32-bit SMP kernel:
# uname -r
2.6.9-78.ELsmp
# uname -m
i686
Step 3 Obtain the following kernel and kernel patch packages in the FusionSphere SIA software package based on the information obtained in Step 2 and copy them to the VM.
kernel-smp-2.6.9-78.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-78.EL.i686.rpm
Step 4 Run the following commands on the VM to replace the RPM package:
# rpm -ivh --force --nodeps kernel-smp-2.6.9-78.EL.i686.rpm
# rpm -ivh --force --nodeps kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-78.EL.i686.rpm
A warning message may be displayed during overwriting, ignore this message.
Step 5 Run the following command to restart the VM for the new kernel to take effect:
# reboot
Step 6 Install the PV Driver.
