You must be right. But I spoke to multiple techs and all of them claim that Fedora and Centos are not "Dell-validated-OSs" [sic]. They told me only RHEL and SUSE are. Not that it matters because I am in no position to upgrade my cluster to RHEL (nor do I think I should need to!) >And you can always lie to the support - CentOS, for all practical and >technical purposes, *IS* RHEL. Maybe! But I wasn't sure "how close". During iffy debugs "misrepresenting" is always tricky since one never knows when it is some small detail that its choking on. Primarily I wanted to rule out that this is hardware and not OS or code (which is what the techs want to always deflect me to). Boils down to this: "if I let you run whatever crappy buggy code and OS that you wanted could you ever get good hardware to go into the "orange light" crashed mode?" I don't know.
