I have had this issue and it turned out to be a power supply with too
little power for the 6 hard drives stuffed into my ultra 20. Removed 2
drives and everything was fine. The drives were perfectly fine. The
other time I have run into this is when I would lose a required nfs
mount (like a home drive).
Good luck.
The time I had a reset every 14 days turned out to be a problem with the
server rooms ups sending me a 'shutdown' message every two weeks.
Switched ups and that disappeared.

I have an OI installation that seems to crash about every 20 days. Locks up
completely and needs a hard reset. Not very much fun.
Whenever I've seen this type of behavior before, it was hardware/driver
related, but we never were able to narrow it down to *which* piece of hardware
or driver, by any method other than blindly swapping out hardware.
I'm not talking, necessarily, about failing hardware. Just some sort of
incompatibility bug. On one system, we greatly reduced the incidence of
crashes by disabling the on-board broadcom NIC, and buying the intel server
PCIE NIC instead.
Likely candidates are the storage controller, and network adapter. And
everything else in the system.
