[Beowulf] Errors on IBM e325

[Michael Will]

Was this not tested before it was deployed? Or is it a problem that only
recently developed?

It sounds similar to http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2003-Sep/0063.html 
suggesting that you should make sure that you run the latest kernel, and if the problem 
persists is a case for your service contract. (i.E. hardware broken)
