No, it's a little Dell PowerEdge 400SC - just a single processor P4, 
with Hyperthreading disabled in the BIOS, so 5.2.1 just sees one processor.

It doesn't panic for me, it's a flat-out hang with a completely black 
screen (it stops responding to the network too, so I'm pretty sure it's 
not just that I can't see what's going on).

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, hitting the power switch do 
nothing.  I end up just pulling the power cord and then letting it 
reboot and go through a fsck.
