Yes, I know it's a kernel issue. And I know that 2.6.9 is pretty old.
But using another kernel / distribution isn't an option. That's the
release that's supported for the application in question.
Fortunately, this issue only seems to crop up on some x3650s. And we
may be switching hardware platforms in the near future.
