It hangs, solid. No ssh, dead to the network, console dead, etc. No
reboot... I've come back to a hung machine after a weekend, and it was
still hung. 

Once it hangs, I can't get anything on a console or anything. Nothing
makes it down to the logs, either, as far as I can tell.

The machine is a PowerEdge 2850, the controller is a PERC 4e/Di.
