I have had a similar problem with a Dell Latitude C800 Laptop. The laptop had an interchangeable floppy drive that came with it, and everytime I had the floppy drive in, I would get messages that said the kernel could not be found. Without it, everything came up just fine.
The point of my rambling, of course, is do you think there may be some sort of hardware conflict/problem where the operating system simply does not like a piece of hardware on the server?

drive.
The default action is to volcheck all checkable media managed by volume management.
OPTIONS

-t secs Check the named device(s) for the next secs seconds. The maximum number of seconds allowed is 28800, which is 8 hours. The fre-
quency of checking is specified by -i. There is no default total time.
-v Verbose.

WARNINGS
Due to a hardware limitation in many floppy drives, the act of checking for media causes mechanical action in the floppy drive. Continu-
ous polling of the floppy drive will cause the drive to wear out. It is recommended that polling the drive only be performed during periods
of high use.
