Hello,

I'm experiencing some trouble with my Red Hat 9.0 : I've a SCSI disk crash
involving a system crash (freeze) on a very regular base (I've noticed
that's it's always around the same time. Could it be related to some cron
task ?). It is then impossible to "wake up" the system or connect through
telnet or ssh. The only thing I can do is to reboot :-(
Here is what the log says :

Does anyone have an any of where the problem comes from (and how to solve
this) ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
