I used to have an issue with a 2650 running RH8, the system would completely hang after a certain amount of time.
This is exactly the issue I had. The system would just hang. It turned out to be a buggy aacraid driver (the adaptec RAID driver). I ended up getting a kernel patch from Adaptec.
I don't know if this is still an issue with the latest redhat releases, I suspect is probably still is. I would check the mailing lists on linux.dell.com (there's an aacraid-specific list).
It's a shame that a system that's RedHat certified, running an OS that's Dell certified, just doesn't work.

Installing an updated kernel, solved this issue for me.
I am currently in the process of deploying 9 systems with RHES 3.0, 4 of
which use the PERC 3/DI controller.
If anyone has confirmation that this is still an issue I'd appreciate the input.

I installed RHEL 3 on a PowerEdge 2650, and had horrible times with theRAID driver. If your server runs the Perc3/Di driver, you'll want to do a little research before plunging into RHEL.
Can you be a little more specific? I have plans to upgrade some PE2650 systems (w/PERC3-DI) to RHEL3 very soon.
Indeed, I will install the latest system BIOS update, and the latest
controller and back plane firmware updates, and install from the current
RHEL3 Update 1 CD.
TIA for any insight you can share.
