Which PE models are they? We have quite a few different Dell PowerEdge
models running 24x7 in the test lab, and don''t see any problems. (I
know
that we have PE1850/2650/2850 and some 4 socket boxes too).

A pair of PE2650''s (for work), and 4x PE1550''s (for my play
boxes in my
personal colo).

On the 2650''s, the aacraid controller driver just hangs up while
loading
if I don''t specify noapic. For the 1550''s, I''m
booting from fibre channel,
and the qla2200 driver keeps issuing EIP resets and never sees the drives 
if I don''t specify noapic.

I''ve got a 750 sitting at the office with a SATA raid controller (still
uses the aacraid driver) that I could also try things out on, to get a 
different chipset and stuff.

Any troubleshooting you''d like me to do? I''ve got enough
capacity that I
can easily migrate machines around and test whatever you''d like out.
