Pardon me if I am wrong or coming in a bit too late --- but you shouldn't be that surprised when a 2.5.XX kernel acts up. the 2.5.xx kernel tree is a development branch and is prone to these errors. however, the 2.4.xx tree and the hopefully soon 2.6.xx tree should be ALOT more stable. Try the latest 2.4.xx release (I think they are up to 2.4.20) for best results, if the latest RH approved kernel is insufficient. Again, if I missed something, I apologize. Although the difference does seem to me like a major error somewhere. ~3x system resource consumption is not normal.
