These machines have the same CPU and mainboard as detailed in the following smolt profile, but different RAM modules: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_1a849a4e-cf37-4b09-92a6-304e1f8d9968 Additionally, on one machine, I performed a zypper dup to RC1 a couple of days ago, and if I try to boot to the 11.4 kernels I experienced crashes and hangs at multiple different stages of the boot process. I was able to fully boot to runlevel 3 only once, but the machine very quickly hung after trying to login and before login was complete. I am unable to attach a serial console but I have taken a series of pictures of the various kernel failures and also saved /var/log/messages from the single instance where I was able to boot to runlevel 3 I will attach the photo of the installation kernel failure to this initial report. I will add the additional photo's of boot failures and the messages log in subsequent comments.
