At first glance I would say the OP is not easily comprehensible. "I have blade server with 8 quad-core processors and RHEL 5.2 i686 already installed." Since the subject says "Blade 460C" I assume he means he has an HP BL460c. As far as I know those servers only have two physical sockets which means that, at most, he could have 2 quad-core CPU's for a total of 8 cores. Or, I guess he could mean that he has 8 total quad-core processors across multiple blades, which would really explain why the load wouldn't be balanced across them. I think we near a more clear cut description of the problem, and his current setup, and exactly what he's seeing, before he's really going to get much help. Also, bigsmp is no longer around in RHEL5. Redhat has significantly reduced the total number of kernel variants to just a handful in comparison to RHEL4. For RHEL5 32-bit I think it's just kernel, kernel-PAE (for systems with >4GB), kernel-xen, and a debug kernel.
