Thank you Noel, I think you are right, it should be related to: "mismatched system libraries". The kernel was updated (and other libraries) two weeks ago but we didn't proceed restarting the server as it was in use (and we, busy). Looking at the syslog it seems co-related to this warning: "3w-9xxx: scsi0: WARNING: (0x06:0x0037): Character ioctl (0x108) timed out, resetting card.". Sorry about sending the msg in HTML, I forgot to disable it. Thank you again.
