Is there any reason why the above would happen when it is NOT the
hardware that's broken?  I've seen it on a couple of P6 boxes around
here, with or without ccd, when I try to push a lot of stuff through
the SCSI system (like parallel iozone's on multiple non-ccd
filesystems).

I'd send you the dmesg output if it's not all disks.  I believe this
machine has the Intel Natoma chipset with 32MB of parity RAM (9 chips,
the middle one is bigger than others, is this the "logic parity"
thing?)....
