RHEL 5.2 is really stable, and SATA is not exactly ultra-modern hardware. It's a good possibility that there is a defect in the motherboard, CPU, or memory. Have you tried booting off the CD-ROM without the hard drive? (Download a "live CD" based off another distribution). Try swapping memory banks to see if the problem occurs at a different point during the process. Have you manually adjusted any BIOS settings? Overriding the BIOS auto-detected memory-refresh settings can have such effects.

ddi_in_panic

ddi_in_panic(9F)					   Kernel Functions for Drivers 					  ddi_in_panic(9F)

NAME

       ddi_in_panic - determine if system is in panic state

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/ddi.h>
       #include <sys/sunddi.h>

       int ddi_in_panic(void);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

DESCRIPTION

       Drivers	controlling devices on which the system may write a kernel crash dump in the event of a panic can call ddi_in_panic() to determine
       if the system is panicking.

       When the system is panicking, the calls of functions scheduled by timeout(9F) and ddi_trigger_softintr(9F) will never  occur.  Neither  can
       delay(9F) be relied upon, since it is implemented via  timeout(9F).

       Drivers that need to enforce a time delay such as  SCSI bus reset delay time must busy-wait when the system is panicking.

RETURN VALUES

       ddi_in_panic() returns  1 if the system is in panic,  or   0 otherwise.

CONTEXT

       ddi_in_panic() may be called from any context.

SEE ALSO

       dump(9E), delay(9F), ddi_trigger_softintr(9F), timeout(9F)
