Thank you for the suggestions...
I'm running kernel version 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64 under SL6.0. Apparently,
it's the latest version available if the sytem is current with all updates.
It's been very stable so far.
I have it running on a couple other machines now too, with no issues.
It would seem to be something peculiar to this Dell GX280 (I know ...
don't laugh :)).
As for you're situation, you can boot into your good configuration and check to
see if your /boot/grub/menu.lst kernel options are the same for both kernels.
It may be that something was incorrectly configured during the upgrade.
Options are the same for all kernels.
You can also try booting the live-cd with various options if you want to do it that way
instead. Try adding "noapic nolapic noacpi" (without quotes) and see if it
boots.
None of those options changed anything. I also played around with the
rdbreak option to see if I could tell how far it's getting. With
=cmdline, =pre-udev, and =pre-trigger I make it to a command line.
Trying to get any further, with =initqueue, =pre-mount, =mount, or
=pre-pivot, I end up with a reset.
Just for the heck of it, I also tried 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.i686, with
the same (reset) result, as does the debug version of
2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.i686.
I tried blacklisting my video driver and CDROM drivers (since that's
the last thing I can see being detected), also to no avail.

From what I've read I think there is still one option you haven't
tried. That is to remake your boot image. (what is it's proper name, I
cannot remember)
To do this, boot into the kernel that works, and then do
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --install 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.i686
Maybe that is the problem you are having is a misconfigured boot image.
