Subject: kernel:Disabling IRQ #23

Hi,
yesterday evening I lost the ssh connection to my server,
the last message was:

> Message from syslogd@...st-195 at Jul  4 23:29:08 ...
> kernel:Disabling IRQ #23

I could not renew the connection. After a reboot I found the following
messages in /var/log/messages (attached below)

The server contains 10 harddisks
- 2 SAS drives connected as SAS drives
- 6 SATA drives connected via SAS, and
- 2 SATA drives connected via SATA

Do these messages point to a single harddisk as the source of the problem?
