I have a server in a remote plant running RedHat 8.0. We have to use this version because 9.0 &nbsp;did not have a useable driver for the RAID controler we were using. &nbsp; 
 
This server seems to have crashed with only the following messages int the /var/log/messages:

The boot drive is a IDE drive. The drives are set to RAID 0. 
 
After the crash, the RAID file system required a manual fsck before we could bring the system back up. 
 
Description of the RAID controler within /etc/sysconfig/hwconfig is

Any idea's as to why the OS crashed instead of recovering gracefully? 
Is this a software or hardware problem?

SCSI timeout rebooting Linux OS

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
