Can you give some hardware details about the machine? I am not really
suspecting that your hardware is broken but sometimes slight variations in
a machine config make it do funny things.

Since you have hardware raid I am asuming you are running SMP and possibly
highmem? Is this a self built machine or a certain "brand" Like Dell, HP,
Compaq, Siemens.
