Re: Debian Sarge server frozen (em64t-p4-smp)

Simon,

Have you checked your 3ware logs, are you getting any disk errors? Which 
controller are you running? Have you run fsck on all the partitions? Not 
sure any of these will help as Lennart said, it does sound like 
something hardware is start to fail.
