It runs Debian Sarge for AMD64. I have lots of other machines, but only
this one gets the reboots. None of the others have SCSI, and none are
dual-CPU with memory on both nodes, just to name two obvious things
different on this machine.

And my symptoms are the same - nothing in the logs, nothing sent to the
syslog server, nothing on the serial console. Just like a power cut.
