If the machine just locks up (are you running X? Do you have a serial console attached so crash info stays around?) then my guess is that it's basically hardware. > Any ideas for trying to figure out what is wrong with this machine? I know very little about IDE or 3ware, so I won't be of much help there. My hardware is all Supermicro P6DLH/P6DGH and the disks are all SCSI. I am running one system under 4.9-STABLE using 8 SCSI drives in 2 vinum RAID arrays and haven't had a peep out of that machine for a long time, except for sector failures (drives are EMC surplus).
