I replaced all the RAM from working/non-working machines. In several cases 
where replacing RAM resolved the issue,  memtest didn't indicate any problems, 
so I'm not inclined to trust it.

Other than the IRQ difference noted earlier, visual scan revealed no differences 
involving mpt2.

I'm familiar with the stale EL6 e1000e driver. I've been using one included by 
yum from elrepo. Manually downloaded RPM so that ethernet works before doing a 
yum -y update. I've been assuming this was unrelated.
