Am I boned? (Dell CS24-SC errors)

[smithse79]

So I went to change out fans in my JBOD enclosure today and figured would find out exactly what kind of RAM was in the server I've got it attached to by opening it up and physically looking. After putting it all back together everything goes through POST and begins to boot fine. Centos goes through it's daemon start process and everything. Once it gets past that point, about where X should start, the computer completely hangs. in the BMC I'm seeing these errors:

Processor 1 IERR (internal error) detected
Processor 2 IERR (internal error) detected
​

Obviously, this means that something is likely wrong with the hardware. Although it's showing errors on both processors, would this indicate more of a problem with the motherboard? They started showing up right after a power outage we had a month or so ago apparently but it was able to deal with the problem apparently. Now it doesn't want to even start.

Well that worked..... I was able to get into it booting runlevel 3. So I changed the /etc/inittab and now it's happy. I don't really need graphics on the local machine anyway, but I wonder why X would cause a hang like that.
