I have a fairly vanilla install of Centos5 on a desktop box (with a
Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit NIC). When booting, the boot process
hangs at "Applying ip6tables firewall rules" for 30-60 seconds before

This is almost certainly a hardware problem. It could be the RAM, a
particular motherboard DIMM slot, or maybe the RAM is just not seated
