Has Oracle support recommended (yet) that you run srvctl with debug on?

Subject: Question re CRS installation and Redhat Linux Versioning 

Greetings,

I realize this is an Oracle list but I am hoping someone may be
experienced enough with Linux to assist me here. I am attempting to
install CRS 10.2.0.1.0 on two separate clusters both running RHEL4 and
configured identically. I can install CRS successfully but after
installation some operations, srvctl stop nodeapps -n <node_name> for
example, there are others, cause the CRS to 'hang' on one node. I have
an SR open with Oracle (it's been a month now with no resolution) and
they are finally coming to questioning the Linux installation which, as
I understand it and according to the installation guide, the cluvfy
utility and the RDA pre-checks is configured correctly but I am
beginning to wonder. 

First, The Redhat 4 must also be at RHEL AS/ES 4.0 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL or
higher. On my systems uname -a returns...
Linux barnaby 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 17:03:35 EDT 2007 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux?

As to RPMS....
We have binutils-2.15.92.0.2-22 - oracle wants
binutils-2.15.92.0.2-10.EL4
We have control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.5 - oracle wants
control-center-2.8.0-12
We have gcc-3.4.6-8 - oracle wants gcc-3.4.3-9.EL4 We have
gcc-c++-3.4.6-8 - oracle wants gcc-c++-3.4.3-9.EL4 We have
glibc-2.3.4-2.36 - oracle wants glibc-2.3.4-2 We have
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.36 - oracle wants glibc-common-2.3.4-2 We have
libstdc++-3.4.6-8 - oracle wants libstdc++-3.4.3-9.EL4 We have
libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-8 - oracle wants
libstdc++-devel-3.4.3-9.EL4
We have make-3.80-6.EL4 - oracle wants make-3.80-5 We have
pdksh-5.2.14-30.3 - oracle wants pdksh-5.2.14-30 We have
sysstat-5.0.5-15.0.1.el4 - oracle wants sysstat-5.0.5-1 We have
xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.14 - oracle wants
xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2
We have openmotif21-2.1.30-11.RHEL4.6 - oracle wants
openmotif21-2.1.30-11.RHEL4.2 (required to install Oracle demos) We have
libaio-0.3.105-2 - oralce wants libaio-0.3.102-1

As I understand it we are compliant. I am also concerned that the
analyst working on the SR said "what I am concern is that the some of
the packages required ends with EL4. I am not sure what the EL4 means,
and I also am not sure what rhel4.5 means for
control-center-2.8.0-12.rhel4.5." That comment concerns me a bit, I
asked him to verify with someone in the Linux group. In the meantime if
someone can confirm for me that we are in fact on a supported version
and also answer the questions the analyst proposed I would be most
appreciative.

Thanks.
