This could be, because the buffers don't get synced to the hdd, and
therefore you'll see nothing. Try to do some logging over network, if it
possible, or tell syslog to sync every write request.
If you won't see the error message either, i can only think of a broken
utp cable. Anyway, try to connect a display to that machine in these
kind of situations :)
Oh, never forgot to mention: upgrade your kernel to 2.4.24!
People have revealed many and many security flaws in the kernel
nowadays.
