Well, I don't want to scare you, but the only time I've ever had this
problem was when one of the disks in my RAID array was failing. (I run
RAID 0 which is, of course, asking for trouble) I'm sure that there are
other things that can cause this, but I only saw it during my disk
failure. The drive would try to read for a while, fail, and cause a SCSI
bus reset which would require a reboot. (If your root drive isn't a SCSI
device AND if you have SCSI support loaded as a module, just removing
and re-loading the SCSI module SHOULD work.)
