The machine was shipped by truck ~1000 miles and apparently vibration was the culprit. Once all software problems were ruled out, the machine was taken apart and all removable components were re-seated. The system immediately became stable and has been running ever since. Thanks go to the HP Proliant/linux support group out of Costa Rica for their assistance as well as everyone here who provided advice.

When "-" appears on the screen at the start of the boot process, just after the boot manager have done its work, the process stops untill the enter key is pressed. After that the keyboard is unavilable till the prompt is showed. If any other key is pressed before the enter the keyboard stops working. Any advice to resolve this problem?

If you add -n option to /boot.config file you can solve the problem. -n ignore key press to interrupt boot before loader(8) is invoked. (thanks to Ganbold) Bye, Akira
