Ok I have no idea what distro you are using but I suggest running the install again and seeing if you can just reconfigure the kernel. If you don't have dual cpus, there is no need for smp.

Since the installation kernel runs, that has to be a configuration problem. Maybe the Linux (Redhat, I guess?) Advanced server requires SMP or something? Yes, it seems strange, but who knows what those guys over at redhat might have been doing.

Somewhere during the install I am sure there is an option for smp. You need to find that and disable it. Though I am not sure why it is not working even with smp. I have ran smp kernels on single cpu machines without any problems.

Have you tried a normal distro (not advanced server) on the machine? Is this advanced server the redhat one?

Nothing worthwhile with "advanced server". Anything you can do with that, you can do with any other distro.

Actually, you can probably do more with the normal distros. The advanced server thing is that it uses older software that is proven to be very stable, to maximize uptime.
