Moving RHEL4 to VM and confusing redhat-support-check message

[hike]

yes, you should worry.  ES is for only 2 cpus.  AS is the version that you
need if you want to leave vmware the way it is now.
our vmware guys limit the number of cpus that a virtual machine uses/sees.
we use RHEL 4 on a multi-processor server without this error.
