I can second that. Just last week, one of my servers, an IBM X-Series 
255, was having a similar problem. Nothing much was gained from the log 
files but the LPD (Light Path Diagnostics) panel indicated a problem 
with power. It turned out to be a faulty power module.
OS was RHEL 4 (Nahant Update 3).
