Hello, this morning I had a stall, but the machine recovered after about =

  one Minute. Here's what I got from the kernel:
ahcich2: Timeout on slot 29
ahcich2: is 00000000 cs 00000003 ss e0000003 rs e0000003 tfd c0 serr=20
00000000
em1: watchdog timeout -- resetting
em1: watchdog timeout -- resetting
ahcich2: Timeout on slot 10
ahcich2: is 00000000 cs 00006000 ss 00007c00 rs 00007c00 tfd c0 serr=20
00000000
ahcich2: Timeout on slot 18
ahcich2: is 00000000 cs 00040000 ss 00000000 rs 00040000 tfd c0 serr=20
00000000
ahcich2: Timeout on slot 2
ahcich2: is 00000000 cs 00000004 ss 00000000 rs 00000004 tfd c0 serr=20
00000000
ahcich2: Timeout on slot 2
ahcich2: is 00000000 cs 00000000 ss 0000000c rs 0000000c tfd 40 serr=20
00000000

Does this tell you something useful?

Thanks,
