When I first seen this subject line I thought you were
calling the list a bunch of Jerks! My bad!

Have you tried a livecd, it almost sounds like a hardware
problem? Did it run like it should under it's former OS?

I would really look at the logs, as suggested make sure that
smp is working. Also it might be a good idea to make sure
your drives are working at the proper DMA settings. Are you
using the proper arch? Just because you buy Sun, and it uses
AMD Opteron's doesn't mean it's a spark.
