Sorry, my mistake.

Version that worked is:

Linux version 2.6.9-22.ELsmp (buildcentos@louisa.home.local) (gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)) #1 SMP Sat Oct 8 19:11:43 CDT 2005

Version that did not work is:

Linux version 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL (buildcentos@build-i386) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 Tue Jan 17 06:51:40 CST 2006

>Can you tell me any more about the differences between these two machines?

I'm not sure where to begin.
As you can see from above, they are both standard centos systems with very similar kernels.
We don't do any kernel updating or hacking.
I have included at the end of this message: /proc/cpuinfo  /proc/meminfo and "mount" for both systems.
Please ask for more details as you need.

>Would you be willing to run some tests for me to help fix this?

Absolutely. Please ask away.
