Well that is interesting because we really have two identical Dell
PentiumIV machines and on both of then bootong with:
vmlinuz-2.2.16-22enterprise or vmlinuz-2.2.16-22smp kernels cause a
kernel panic. Only the vmlinuz-2.2.16-22 kernel boots the machine.

The same SCSI Card and SCSI devices worked in another Pentium III
machine under RH 6.2.

Any other suggestions out there. But I do appreciate the response to my
question.
