Just as a guess, possibly there is a hardware fault on the disk at SCSI 0
and the controller is automatically correcting the one-bit parity error. The
earlier shutdown would have occurred when there was more than one bit in
error.
The eth0 error may be a timeout due to the first fault, as you say.
If you have a spare disk, it might be time to swap it out. Of course it is
probably the main system disk and you didn't really want to keep the machine
offline ... :)

Time to do a surface scan of the media, I think. Also if it's only one year
you might check your hardware warranties. Some of the newer disks are
guaranteed for three years.
If a surface scan does not show up anything, you might have a controller
fault. You can always try re-seating the card and connectors (actually you
might want to do that first before the media test).

Regards,

Jill.

Hi Sluggers,
Last night a server died, and on reboot there are the following error 
messages that constantly appear in the log:
eth0: Too much work at interrupt, IntrStatus=0x0001.
Oct 23 10:01:25 rrserver kernel: scsi0: PCI error Interrupt at seqaddr = 
0x8
Oct 23 10:01:25 rrserver kernel: scsi0: Data Parity Error Detected during 
address or write data phase

The eth0 error doesn't happen as often as the scsi error, I think it only 
happens when someone tries to remotely connect to the server. The scsi error
happens every 30 seconds or so, I guess this is becuase it 
has a scsi hard drive.

This machine has been running for nearly a year flawlessly, no recent 
changes, and it is not connected to the internet, so this is why I think 
its a hardware issue - But where?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott
