I would suspect either bad hardware,a flakey SCSI driver, or a possible
kernel bug. If your system is freezing hard, it is NOT postgresql's
fault. It simply doesn't have the access to the kind of system resources
needed to freeze a machine.
Is there a different SCSI driver / card you can try in there? We've (and
many others have too) had good luck with the LSI/MegaRAID cards and both
the older 1.18 seris and new 2.x series drivers. No freezes, no crashes,
no hangs on the boxes with those in them.
