Hi Matt,
We have the MP spec set to v1.4 for more than a year and the systems have been unplugged for more than 1 hr for system maintenance many times. The BIOS firmware is 4.06.43. We suspect the kernel triggering a hardware bug as we see this only on HP Netservers. We have other unbranded Intel SMP machines running the same kernel, distro & same services without this problem.
