I have a DL360 with dual 1266MHz processors, 2GB memory, and two 18.2 GB hard drives mirrored using the integrated controller. Partitions are formatted as ext3. I have noticed that the backup is up to 10 times slower than similar systems we have using ext2 instead of ext3. I am not utilizing any of the journaling capabilities of the filesystem. In addition, I have tried to upgrade the kernel from 2.4.7-10smp to 2.4.9-34smp. I have tried using RHN and building one manually. In each case, the machine hangs after the "Uncompressing linux..." message comes up on the console. I have tried booting with 2.4.9-34 kernel with similar results.
