im quite sure you are most intelligent so you have pry done these things already..
the first two things that come to mind are... do you have the latest stable "firmware" on those machines
are they all the same or is there a common denominator besides CentOS 4.1 ?
and have you tried to install the latest kernels and such... there was recent publishing of them
if they are connected to the internet, unplug for testing??
