I do not specifically have any PowerEdge 1950's  ... however, I have
many of each of these models of Dell PowerEdge servers:

400SC (Very old, Tower Boxes)
850
SC1425
2950
R300
R510
R710

I also have several Dell Optiplex 760/770/780 machines running CentOS 5.6.

All of these machines have been upgraded to CentOS-5.6 with no issues.
All of the servers except the 400SCs are 1U rack mount servers.

That mot to say there is not an issue with the 1950's.

There are way to many versions of controllers and BIOS upgrades, etc. to
say if it is an os problem without more testing.

Obviously of more than one failed right after the upgrades, then it is
something on 5.6 that is causing you problems (or maybe a 3rd party
repo, etc.)
