Hello David,
I was not able to reproduce the error on any Linux, Windows or Solaris
machines so I created a vmware image from scratch using the software
versions you specified. The following are steps I took to recreate
your problem.
[Installation for setting up Whitebox Linux 3.0 with geodjango]
Download the liberation-respin3-binary-i386-1.iso.
wget
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/iso/i386/liberation-respin3-binary-i386-1.iso
With VMWare Workstation create a Redhat Enterprise 3 template, mount
the iso you just downloaded.
Do a minimal install.
Logged into the machine as root.
# changed /etc/yum.conf to point to georgia tech only (the others are
slow or broken)

It was difficult for me to use subversion on that system so I used
mercurial to get the django_gis source.
When I ran the tests I found a bug in driver.py (django/branches/gis/
django/contrib/gis/gdal/driver.py) which would not show up on other
types of system I tried.
On this system (Whitebox Linux 3.0), running register_all
(OGRRegisterAll) would return 0, and on others it would return a
random integer.
The code relied on the returned value to be non-zero which would fail
on this setup.
A fix would be to not rely on the value being returned from
"register_all".
I notified Justin and he was able to patch it. You can see it here at
http://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/7003.
Thanks for the detailed error messages and software versions.
Regards,
Travis
