I have the same problem on 7.1 ( 2.4.0 ) on a mail server with raid 5 on 4 SCSI disks. It happened with e-mails, messeges and logs.

Recently we have installed the 7.3 and it seems that the problem has disapeared. On the 7.2 i haven't encountered the problem yet.
My machine(s) indeed run SuSE-7.2, but with standard self compiled Kernel (now 2.4.16) on a Dual Pentium-Pro SMP machine. The problem was the same with older Versions of SuSE and older SMP Kernels (2.4), all with reiser filesystems. It mainly occures when I was forced to "Hard-" power off due to system hangs by cutting off Power. I suspect BIOS/PCI/APIC Interrupt-share Problems for the hangs on my old Mainboard hp Vectra XU6/200. During boot I get always: -------------------------------------------------- <4>ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs <3>BIOS bug, IO-APIC#0 ID is 16 in the MPC table!... <3>... fixing up to 0.
