Good news everyone.
We successfully swapped the hardware today on Dior from the original dual xeon setup to a brand new and better setup - a dual core opteron with 2GB's of DDR2 RAM.
This a brand new server, that is quite a lot faster than what Dior was originally on. We all truly believe that this should be the end of all the issues with Dior, as everything in this setup is brand new out of the box, and a whole lot better as well.
We apologize for the outages, kernel panics, and general inconveniences that you all have had to put up with, this should be the last you hear of them.
