Peter,
Do you have Gold support? Those guys are very good at what they do. If you do, I would think that the linux guys at Dell know the answer to this question. If you do not, perhaps the basic support guys will know the answer?
No gold, just the silver 7x24.

Peter,
Silver sit side by side with the Gold. Have you asked them? If anybody has seen this, they would know about the solution. The difference between Silver and Gold is not the skill level, it is the service level allowed, latitude of movement to solve the issues.
Interestingly, the behavior completely disappeared with the installation of CentOS 4.4 x86_64. Somehow it didn't occur to me that using the distribution precisely for the hardware would be required, or perhaps that the normal i386 distribution wouldn't just run on it.
:)
Peter
It usually does run OK. But there must be some hardware glitch between your system and an i686 install.
