Oh, I know ... and that is where I think I've gotten lucky with Rackspace ... I even *question* a piece of hardware, they scheduale a time with me to get rid of it ... never once have they shot back at me that its an OS issue ... and when I worked with Matt on that last probably, he pretty much treated it the same way ... he would suggest possible hardware issues, and I'd get the rackspace guys to investigate, but not once did Matt drop the possibility it was a SW issue ... turned out, it was one of each :) Underpowered Power Supplies, and a bug in the VM subsystem ...
