Several times now I have had Linux servers (and production quality
ones, not built by me ones :-)) die in a somewhat similar fashion.
In every case the cause has been either a flaky disk or a flaky disk
controller, or some combination.
I've seen an instance of somewhat similar symptoms where a power supply
was sagging out of spec on one supply rail some time after startup.
When some disk activity happened, the extra power consumption caused the
voltage to sag further triggering the disk going AWOL.
At the time this started to happen, the power supply was more than 12
months old.

I considered power problems, however the server has dual redundant 400
Watt power supplies, and is in a server room and none of the other
machines in there are having problems like this one. I suppose it is
possible that both supplies are failing, but that seems highly unlikely?
