Keeping my fingers crossed, but I replaced the SCSI controller (Tekram) in the server by one I had in my old-stuff-stash, an Adaptec 2940W. Yep, old. I had to enable “Load BIOS” on the card, but after that the system booted like I never changed a thing. For now the system seems stable, it’s running Ubuntu’s daily.find now. Heavy disk access would previously reboot the system, but so far so good.
