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).

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. Output of lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
