The SGI-provided RHEL-kernels are lagging too much, and
forward-porting their patches got to be too much work/complicate for
us. We've moved to running the Fedora Core 3 kernels on our
RHEL-servers. 

So, I'd recommend one of:

        1 - Fedora Core 3 kernel-rpms (boot with selinux=0)
        2 - plain 2.6 kernels from kernel.org
        3 - plain 2.4 kernels from kernel.org

We do #1 and #2 on various servers.
