Hmmmm, you're making me nervous... :-(
I can hardly believe it's a HW problem since the machine in question is a server
machine that's running 24 hrs./day, and it's been VERY reliable so far. It's
performing it's service since some years now (ok, that doesn't prevent it from
dying some day, but...)
Apart from that I haven't seen a SINGLE message from the IDE driver (like
timeouts or read/write errors.) Shouldn't that be the case if you suspect the
hard drive? How would I check a swap partition for errors?

2.4.14 with XFS. I'm planning to upgrade to 2.4.17 or 18 soon...
