These are HP servers. Have you tried running diagnostics from their SmartStart CD? This would allow you to boot from a different operating system, and it would allow you to use their diagnostics. You also might try booting off of a Red Hat Disc 1 (Rescue CD). If you have other servers that do not have this problem that are the same model, you could move your drives (making sure that the drive order remains the same) between 2 machines, and see if the problem follows the drives or the machine.
