Sounds a lot like hardware trouble.  Are you getting any other errors in
/var/log/messages?  Does FTP and SSH and/or other protocols work while samba
is having trouble.  Verify the cabling, etc.
I could be wrong, it's just that with the limited information, it sounds like the first thing
to check would be verity that the hardware is sound.
