Ugghhh!!! I think I know what the problem is. I remember pulling my hair out with Red Hat Linux 7.X. For some reason, Red Hat Linux does not like KVMs. I believe it's something with the mouse driver. I'm using a Autoview 400 KVM with a type 5 Sun keyboard. I haven't had problems with many other O/S, but Red Hat just doesn't like KVMs. Even just using the console, it will lock up. Sure enough, as soon as I plugged in a standard keyboard and mouse (directly) it appears to run fine--no hard locks. Do the Enterprise versions have this limitation too?
