I guess this is not the case. YOu should see system messages and the system hanging on the later described issue.

Exactly, wondered why ? 2.2.14BOOT is not trying to disable the serial number while 2.2.14 is. This hang then there. > > We have swapped out the motherboard and CPU with others of the same > model, with no effect; we have also tried different RAM (and another > install of RH6.2 on another hard drive) with no success.

Actually, just use a boot disk or a recent SUSE cd for that matter, boot the installed system, recompile the kernel without "disable cpuid serial" and you are all set.

By the way,
that's what redhat support is for. They should have told you that there is an issue with the supplied kernel and durons and thunderbirds.
I guess this is OT on the LKML.
Anyway, my suggestion should work, since it worked for me.
