Though it sounds like failing hardware, particularly in the disk 
subsystem, the "no carrier" message is odd enough that I would double 
check the duplex and speed setting of the network adapter and switches. 
Then again, that message may be due to failing hardware in combination 
with a serial connection (possibly used to get the output you posted?).

Cross platform serial connections can be some of the most esoteric dark  
voodoo you'll ever learn. Getting them right is sometimes very 
difficult, if not impossible, in many situations.
