I can’t install Rocky Linux 10 on my ProLiant BL460c Gen8. I use Rocky-10.0-x86\_64-dvd1.iso and present it to blade via HP ILO. Then It boots up I can see the initial menu. There I select menuitem “Install Rocky Linux 10.0” and after this it silently reboot. I did several attemts by adding debug and rd.debug to boot parameters and this allows me to see few more lines like Booting a command list Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)… ok And then anyway reboot. Kindly ask for advices how to install Rocky Linux 10 on this server. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/3/31dec118b8a3c8ce09ad0b20c2bc01cc4fc23a40.png) ---

It looks like your CPU is `Intel® Xeon® E5-2600/v2` and RHEL 10 (so RL10 as well) requires at least `x86_64 v3` architecture CPUs. > **[Red Hat Enterprise Linux Technology Capabilities and Limits - Red Hat...](https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-limits)** > > This article provides the supported and theoretical limits of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. ---

Fedora Linux 42 which is also based on Linux Kernel 6 is able to boot and install without any problem. ---

That’s because Fedora isn’t locked to specific hardware like what Red Hat do, and thus Rocky as well has this limitation. So unless your CPU is x86\_64-v3 you cannot use RHEL10 or Rocky 10. ---

The issue is that compiler options dictate what CPU instructions the binaries will have. One can build different binaries from same sources. Example: [CentOS ISA SIG Performance Investigation – Blog.CentOS.org](https://blog.centos.org/2023/08/centos-isa-sig-performance-investigation/) The RHEL 10 and Rocky 10 are built with options that do use AVX2 and other x86-64-v3 instructions. Those binaries cannot execute if CPU does not have those instructions. Red Hat has their rationale for that: [https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2024/01/02/exploring-x86-64-v3-red-hat-enterprise-linux-10](https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2024/01/02/exploring-x86-64-v3-red-hat-enterprise-linux-10) ---
