Dunno, but I'd be messing around with the BIOS. Usually there's something there that you have to tweak. Turn stuff on/off that looks right. Look for stuff about turning on/off power management, apci, etc.

These systems have been running fine with no problems with a Redhat Linux derivative (CentOS or Fedora) or FreeBSD for over two years already, so I don't think it's really necessary to do anything there.
We recently did fresh installs of CentOS 4.4. That's when the problem started happening. The system works perfectly fine otherwise, it's just a problem with the reboot process. Since these are servers in a data center, it's vital that they be able to reboot without intervention.
Did something significant change with CentOS 4.4 that could be causing the problem?
Thanks.
