@James I think you missed the rest of the list. (I should've trimmed it too) If you download the whole post, you'll see at the bottom:

Kernel is 2.6.38-15.62 from ubuntu. It happens every couple of weeks on one of 5xx machines and I couldn't spot any specific situation that makes hosts go into that state. It's only after the host was live for some time, not right after bootup.
The host is now rebooted, so I can't answer other questions until I run into this issue again.
