no, and that's the weird thing. As far as I know, and as far as my
research went, there were no changes, nor was there really any active
use of the system. That's the first thing I checked, of course. Its
kernel version, and the version of all RPMs currently on the system,
are the same as on the others that I have, and haven't changed in weeks.

Subject: Failure to boot with SMP kernel on x86_64 SMP system ...
Hi, Folks ...
One of my Sun X4100s was hung this morning. All of them are running
RHEL 4 update 4. On rebooting with an SMP kernel, it consistently
hangs after printing the below to the console:
===========================================================
powernow-k8: Found 4 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version
1.50.04-rh)
powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure
powernow-k8: init not cpu 0
powernow-k8: init not cpu 0
powernow-k8: init not cpu 0
ACPI: (supports S0 S1 S4 S5)
ACPI wakeup devices:
PCI1 USB0 ETHR USB1
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereferenceFreeing unused kernel
memory: 192k freed
============================================================
All of the systems I have are running the same kernel
(2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp), but I also tried booting it with 2.6.9-34.ELsmp
kernel, with the same exact result.
I can boot it fine using the "non-SMP" kernel, but of course, I wind
up with only one CPU.
This kernel isn't new to the system; it has been running fine with it
for a while. I ran the hardware diagnostic DVD, and it found no
hardware problems.
So, I'm fishing for ideas here ... anyone got any? Thanks!
