Just wanted everyone to know that the server is running beautifully now. Got all the DNS issues resolved and it's working great.

Michaeleq and KevinH - we're running into the same problem on a Dell 830 w 2G of memory. We had exactly the same symptoms - it kept spawning /bin/unicode_start until it ran out of memory. We didn't see your previous post in time to save the log file. If we run into it again, we'll forward.

More importantly, we were loading this onto Cent-OS. Despite the fact we asked the Cent installation to not install items such as MySQL, ldap, etc... it appears to have done so. That would clearly be one problem, though we're not sure if it has any bearing on the memory/unicode issue.

We're starting from scratch and reinstalling Cent, and we'll know shortly if the two problems are connected.

That's somewhat interesting... We have a Dell Poweredge 850 with 3gigs of ram and had no problems installing CentOS 4.2. I used the server install cd and selected only the base system and utilities and had no problems, no extra packages were installed.

I can understand the problems with FC4... when it was first released the install CD would kernel panic unless you typed in gibberish at the boot prompt. Looks like they've not figured out everything for the installer yet.
