[rhn-users] Kernel update from RH Enterprise 4.0 to 4.2 causekernel panic

[Kvetch]

A coworker had the exact same box with the exact same problem.  Dell
told him there were incompatibilities with the SATA control and the
drivers in the RH kernel and RH doesn't work on that line of boxes. 
They were not too specific on why though.
If support isn't an issues I would try adding some drivers in the
kernel and before you reboot recompile the kernel and copy the
appropriate files over.
