I've got a 2.2.8-19990120-SNAP box that has been occasionally hanging, becoming unresponsive to anything but pings. It's stayed in that state for several hours until I rebooted before. Occasionally, I get a little bit of response, but it isn't consistent or predictable (this morning I was sitting at "connected" trying to telnet into the box for 90 minutes without a login prompt). I also find messages like this in the logs.

So does this look like a failing hard drive to anyone else? This is fairly new behavior, with no hardware or OS changes in several months.
