It is obvious that the disk controller is no longer interrupting. It is not obvious why. dmesg output and mptable output would go a long ways towards somebody being able to help you. I seem to remember that you said the machines used to work just fine. It would be helpful for you to bracket the breakage to a smaller window of time using CVS & doing a binary search on the source trees, looking for the date the breakage occured.
