Machine Crash--Can someone decipher this for me?

About 10 minutes ago we had one of our DB machines crashed, and I
really need to find out why.

Symptoms were that we lost connectivity on the Gig-E port, things
were *really* slow accessing the 100bT port (different network), so
I grabbed the Serial console to try and troubleshoot. This very soon
stoped responding, so I had to power-cycle the box.

We'd been playing with the box all day testing a new configuration
(we are migrating a DB from an e4500 to this machine).

Here is the log file:

Nov 9 16:36:12 dbgsh01 kernel: nfs: server cart1-1 not responding, still trying

Hardware: VALinux 2200 dual CPUs, 2 gig ram.
Netgear GA620
IBM 9gig HD on /dev/sda (using Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter)
3ware 64xx card with 2 75 Gig IDE drives.

Kernel: 2.4.13-ac8. Using Acenic driver .83 for GA620. EEpro1.09 for
onboad 100bT.

I suspect that something caused the Acenic driver to, go bad.

Is this a case of "upgrade to the lastest version (IIRC .84) and
hope it doesn't happen again", or am I barking down the wrong
branch?
