Booting from CD gets me a kernel panic:

kernel BUG at arch/i386/kernel/apic.c:380

https://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-64497&brandind=5000008
says to add "pci-nommconf nophet", but that doesn't help. Neither does
adding noapic A CentOS 5.1 CD boots just fine, though.

Does anyone know how to get past this issue?

This is a kernel issue. You could use the CentOS 5.1 kernel
with RHEL4. If I have this right, RHE4 uses 2.6.9, which is pretty
historic. Maybe just move to RHEL5.1 or use CentOS 5.1 in the first
place.

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.
