Dell sure does have a lot of hardware problems

A common problem with their, um, less than great MPT device:

Nov 6 01:23:46 XXX /kernel: mpt0: time out on request index = 0×27 sequence = 0×0719a5e1

The machine is now essentially dead, the scsi controller has pretty much locked up.

It’ll recover a bit sometimes, but the machine is never really back in a working state until it’s power cycled.

No real help unfortunately, but at least this is here for someone else who searches on google for this frustrating problem.
