Hi,
  I've had reboots caused by high disk activity on with a AHA2940. Extracting a 
large tar archive or recursively removing a large directory tree will cause the
machine to hang for a few secs and then reboot. This has happened with 2.1-R
and with all the 2.1-STABLEs that I've used. Any idea where to look? There appears
to be nothing syslogged. Would a dump reveal the problem?
TIA
