Hi all
Please suggest some way of diagnosing this problem:
System freezes after being up in production and apparently stable for
several weeks, no dump, no error message, nothing on the console - so
I suspect hardware.

Here is my dmesg, long lines were wrapped:

I've had freezes as you describe on two different servers with ahd and
SMP. The solution was to turn SMP off, unfortunately :(

Are these Xeon's? If so you might want to try disabling Hyper-threading
in the bios. I have noticed some strange behavior on 6.2-RC1 with a
IBM x336 server here. It never crashed but the throughput "felt" off,
so I disabled Hyper-threading and things seemed to perform the way I
expected it to should.
I would have more details when I actually have time to work on the
server itself, however in the meantime give it a shot. If you have 2
CPU's you shouldn't see the CPU2/CPU3 listed just the 2 aftewards.
FYI - I have used that particular controller successfully on several
servers recently so I don't think that should be a overall issue for you.
Cheers,
Jeff
