Since we upgraded the firmware to: "Upgraded ILO to 1.84, RAID to
2.68 and BIOS to 04/26/2006 (IA64) and 01/03/2006 (AMD64)", the
server with which we had the random hanging has been behaving very correctly.

You can get it from:
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/subscription/PSM_subscription.html

Please note that the software which installs it requires a keyboard
(I can life with that) and a mouse (?!?!?!?!??!). Expect an outage
of 15 minutes per server.
