Eve.8ryone,
I have had a SuperMicro machine running Centos 5.8 that had been progressively updated with yum-cron from a 5.0 CD install.

Nicolas,
We have tried with 6.3 using a DVD that failed, and 6.3 is what worked with the usb stick. I will be downloading 6.4 this weekend and should be able to try 6.4 next.
Ok. Let me start by saying we have some honkin' hot servers (48 & 64 cores), and they'd had *some* problems, but when we went from 5.x to 6.x, we started seeing more problems... as in a userspace, computation-*very*-intense multithreaded program able to crash the whole box, and send it back to the OEM (Penguin), and they decide to replace the m/b.
Given that, I'm suspecting you've got a similar problem. Why on install, I don't know, but I'm wondering about the board.
