resolution!

So it turns out, this was all due to this bug: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_42_11695.shtm What I'm not impressed about are a few things: * It took HP 3 months, and a lot of harassing to get them to tell us this. Previous, they sent a tech out to replace about every damn piece of the server except maybe the screws. Their techs are absolute morons. They have no concept of troubleshooting or the scientific method. * HP changed their processor line really without telling anyone. This is a pretty big change in processors, and I'm surprised it wasn't made very well known to anyone, especially their techs. The sad thing is that, when I was about to install an OS on a majority of our servers out in the DC, I had the opportunity to installed RHEL4.6, but it kernel paniced and I thought "oh well" it doesn't work. Turns out it was all due to a faulty ISO. At least that nightmare is over!
