large memory issue? can you try with mem=2048M
3.1 and 3.4 mostly differ on the kernel version,
I have not seen any similar issue here, but not Sun and no 6GB RAM machines.
How does your ks.cfg look like?
You did not tell your arch: i386 or x86_64? Not sure it really matters here.

Do you have 2 network cards? The 2.6 kernel from CentOS-3 can swap the eth0/1 cards
compared to the 2.4 kernel from CentOS-3.
No problem here either.
