Whoops, sorry about the blank preceeding this. > Hi. Does anyone have any insight into what these messages really mean or > what the fix is (besides going to 2.2-stable ;-)?

This normally means that (surprise, surprise) you have harware problems. Are there any error messages coming from your disk controller? Sometimes RAM faults can cause these symptoms as well. > It does not appear that we actually have a hardware problem (disks check > out, controller checks out, etc.).
