I've seen a server completely fall over immediately after a SCSI attached RAID array (RAID 6) spat out a few read errors on one of the array's SATA disks. The array itself thought that the drive was okay, but the server load spiked to 450+, there were many processes stuck in state D, and the server had to be hard power-cycled to bring it back up. I've had other drive failures in the same array, but in those cases the SMART status on the drive showed failure and the system remained relatively unaffected from a processing standpoint. This probably doesn't help much with your issue, but it's a couple of data points.
