I have what looks to be the same problem . Also running Centos 5, and it hangs after 4 hr. on average. I tried putting in a new SATA hd, then a new power supply, neither worked. I read on another forum that someone changed a BIOS setting to not allow 64 bit PCI I/O mapping above 4G and that seemed to fix the problem, but I dont think that I want to change that setting. Does anyone have any other fix or at least an explanation as to why this is screwing up?
