I have had three cases like this. These were the fixes in each case: ( each different systems - different locations ) 1) Rang the local electricity board. Found a large substation nearby. Installed a UPS and line condidtioners. 2) Changed external SCSI cable. 3) Changed Adaptec SCSI controller. Check your /usr/adm/messages file for clues.
