Hi All,
One of my servers locked up last night. I was not able to ssh in, but
luckily I had a terminal open which was already connected to it. Any
command I tried gave me an I/O error (which I should have written down
because I forget what it said).
Once I rebooted the machine, It came back up without problems, and has
been working fine since, but I'd like to figure out what went wrong.
Here's what syslog had to say about it:

I'm trying to determine weather its the drive, or a problem with the
IDE controller or motherboard.
Anyone have any ideas?
