Also, I still think we need to (badly) upgrade the kernel - AFAIK, it is still running 2.4.6 (Brion hasn't said otherwise). A newer kernel could really help us out here (w/ the ganked and reganked VM subsystem).
It's 2.4.7.
I've been reluctant to do a kernel upgrade for fear of making it unbootable and subjecting Jason to another 3-hour journey. :) Had I thought of it at the time, we should have gone ahead and done it when he was there dealing with the recent crash.
If we just install the RedHat RPMs it should in theory be fairly painless, but I'm not too familiar with how the red hat boot goodies are set up or how to make it fall back to the previous kernel after the first reboot if the new one doesn't work.
