Kernel panic during install...

["BRYAN,SHANE A (HP-Corvallis,ex1)" <shane_bryan hp com>]

I am trying to install RH6.0 on an HP NetServer LPr (512Mb, NetRAID1Si, 
2x800MHz) in order to test the upgrade of the kernel to 2.2.17-14enterprise.

I have 5 RH6.0 servers in service on a live web site that need the upgrade, 
and I want to test on an "expendable" server first.  I already "hosed" one 
of them by trying a remote upgrade.  Everything worked fine until the
reboot,
which failed with a kernel panic on its way back up.

Anyway...

The problem is that while performing a "Bad block check" on the swap
partition (/dev/sda7), the install fails with a panic message and red screen
as follows:

    Oops:	0000

    you may safely reboot your system

This error condition is reproducable.  I have tried swaping RAM.  I have not
tried a different server, or NetRAID card.

Can anyone make any sense of this?  Do you have any ideas?

Again, it occurs during the format of the swap partition.  I had a similar
error when I don't tell anaconda to format the swap, but it happens while
copying the packages to disk.

I have reinitialized the the NetRAID card, it has the latest BIOS, and I
have even done a low level format of both disks in the RAID group.

I'm at a loss, please assist if able...
