[K12OSN] Hard lockup

[James P. Kinney III]

I'm running a new install of 64-bit v5 onto many (many!) dual chip, dual
core Opteron machines. Installed from disks and ran the yum update
(804MB later...). Then set about to get the clients up.

When the clients start X, I get the gray screen disease (but it _should_
be fixed based on the docs) and the _server_ locks up hard. No keyboard,
mouse or network. I ran it with a remote ssh open and it went down as
well.

Any suggestions on where to start looking?

No errors in log file (need to turn up logging) as it crashes too fast.

Using Gnome. Multiple NICS (4 bonded Gbit for high speed to the clients,
1 to the outside world, 1 to the login server). These machines have 8GB
RAM (HP DL385's). A test model (one chip, 1GB RAM ran just fine with
RC12 (or 5. not sure. too tired)
