 Opteron / Xeon servers

Hello!

Here a some more information:
- sometimes the whole systems crash - sometimes they are still alive
- if they are alive fdisk consumes 99% CPU
- fdisk cannot be killed also not with kill -9
- the same happens with a cat on /dev/sdX
- no problem when trying to access /dev/hdX
