<...>We had to do a hard reset to get the machine back up
why?
<...>I had a similar problem with an older AMD k6 box several weeks ago, using the
same RH9 media.
the same sysadmin? ;-)
<...> At the time, we assumed it must be a problem with the old bios of
the pre LBA motherboard, so we just bought a whole new box (and new HD) to
replace it and now are having the same problem with the new box.
its never a fault to do something like
# rpm -qa --qf "%{arch} %{name}\n" |sort >/root/arch-postinstall
# rpm -qa --qf "%{arch} %{name}\n" |grep "kernel\|glib"
