Oh, come on - it doesn't take that great a leap of imagination. Take 
something that isn't a rip off of an enterprise distro (read, take 
something that's actually bleeding edge, rather than something that's a 
copy of a system that puts a lot of effort into making sure that things 
"just work" for their paying customers) and I'm sure it's not too hard 
to make things break. Be that the latest Ubuntu, Fedora Core (preferably 
some sort of testing branch) or whatever. If course, without knowing 
what exact distro/kernel was being used, it's hard to reproduce.

Don't get me wrong (I use RHEL myself) - but to me, things working on 
Centos (or WBEL, RHEL, SLES or whatever other Enterprise Distro one can 
think of) surely doesn't seem to be some sort of guarantee that it 
should work for everybody else too.
