Dell PE1850 kernel panic

Chris,

My experience with Dell is that in the past they have changed motherboard
revisions and chips in the system, within the same model number.  You
have
a situation here where you think you have 5 identical machines - well you
need
to start by making sure you really and truly do in fact have 5 identical
machines.
I would bet that once you start taking covers off and reading board
revision numbers
that you will find that you don't have identical machines, and that this
is why
some of them are working and others aren't.

Also, you need to compare BIOS and firmware revisions and compare BIOS
settings between all of them.

Ted
