Hi John,

Thanks for you quick reply.

There are a total of 9 systems with identical hardware.  Two are known
to have exhibited the error once.  On a third system the error is
cropping up repeatedly at seemingly random intervals.

Before:

# cat /proc/interrupts

The systems have the following hardware:

Supermicro H8DAR-T
2 X Opteron Model 285 2.6GHz
4 X 2GB PC-3200 (8GB)
2 X Seagate ST3500320NS 500GB
Intel Pro 1000MT - PWLA8492MT

The systems were originally installed in March-April 2008 with RHEL 4.
 They were upgraded to RHEL 5 in May 2009.  The problem started
showing up 6-9 months ago.  The systems have been running the same
firmware since the beginning.  The next time the problem occurs and
the user reboots the machine I will find out if it is the latest.

Thanks again,

Mike
