It is hard to tell what is going on for sure from the info you have. Here are a couple hints/starting points.

The Unix equivalent of scandisk is called "fsck". I've run it many times and never seen output like you're getting so I doubt is is a disk check. You could google that to familiarize yourself with it so you can be sure.

Based on all the hex addresses you're getting I would guess you're getting a panic - analagous to the "blue screen of death" from Windows. This is often caused by a software problem (writing to restricted memory, illegal instruction, etc.) but can also be caused by hardware errors. If this is a server with a service processor of some kind try to access that and see if it logged any hardware faults or messages. If it's just a PC obviously that won't work.

You probably need to reboot or power cycle in either case. Carefully watch the messages and see if you can find a clue there.

Good luck.
