Changes
clarified which kernel for 64-bit
{{Note|Use <tt>rpm -ihv</tt> command for ovzkernel RPM installation. Please do not use the <tt>rpm -Uhv</tt> command to install the kernel, otherwise all the previously installed kernels may be removed from your system.}}
{{Note|When using a <b>64-bit</b> processor <b>and</b> operating system, you need only select the SMP or non-SMP version. With the Redhat repos this will be ovzkernel.x86_64. 64-bit linux can access the entire 64GB of ram in ZONE_NORMAL (low memory). PAE and 4GB/4GB splitting are only needed for 32-bit OS, and so are not necessary and are disabled by default in 64-bit kernels.}}
New RHEL5 based kernel uses different flavors naming. I.e. :
* '''UP''' kernel is no longer provided
* '''SMP''' kernel comes without any flavor (like old UP)
* '''entnosplit''' kernel comes as '''PAE '''
* '''enterprise''' kernel comes as '''ent'''
* '''ovzkernel.x86_64''' for 64-bit
