My previous information was a bit in error. I incorrectly remembered where the system would hang. It hangs in the place indicated below:

SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
Red Hat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1-3 Apr 22 2004 14:34:42)
AAC0: kernel 2.8.4 build 6089
AAC0: monitor 2.8.4 build 6089
AAC0: bios 2.8.0 build 6089
AAC0: serial 635081d3fafaf001
scsi0 : percraid
------ THE SYSTEM HANGS HERE ------
Vendor: DELL Model: Rev: V1.0
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

I've since updated the system and raid card to the most current bios. and it hasn't helped. The old raid bios was build 6082.

The system hangs right before the "Red Hat/Apaptec..." line below.
