I must be in the other 1% of reasons.  I ran memtest86 and I also
tried it on other systems.  These are brand new IBM (Lenovo)
ThinkCentre M52 systems with 4GB of RAM.  On all systems it fails
with the same error.  So I ask again, can a misconfigured kickstart
configuration file cause this problem?  If not, how can I debug
this?  How can I capture any logs from the kickstart session?  None
of the virtual consoles appear to have a running shell where I can
access the system.

On a related note, what's the consensus on enabling hyperthreading on
a CentOS system?  Good, bad, indifferent?  The systems will be used
as developer workstations.

Thanks,
Alfred
