Hi Connie,

Booted SL5.6 from cpqarray to prove network was operational, 30 ms due south :)

Booted SL6 boot.iso, same error reported earlier.

Using info from ctrl-alt-f3 & f4, determined that SL6 reverses eth0
with eth1 relative to SL5.6 boot.iso.

The two FastE controllers are mac 00:04:76+ and 00:50:8b+.  One is on
the mother board (TI ThunderLAN), the other on the bus.

Switched to SL-6-i386-2011-02-11-LiveMiniCD.iso, booted without boot:
kernel parms, with the following result:

uhci-hcd 0000:00:14.2 Found HC with no IRQ, Check BIOS/PCI 0000:00:14.2 setup!
uhci-hcd 0000:00::14.2 init 0000:00:14.2 fail, -19
LOCK UP requiring POR

Verified that SL5.6 would still boot without a problem.

Verified that KNOPPIX_V6.4.3CD-2010-12-20-EN.iso would boot without a problem.

Verified that NetBSD's i386cd-5.0.2.iso would install without a problem.

Sibling CL1850Rs have been and are running CentOS 4.8 in production
without a problem.

Ran HP/Compaq Firmware Utility 7.2;  it upgraded _only_ two new disk
drives which had been put into the array.
