very high load!?

hi,

Our server slowed to a crawl and died today, crashed solid. So we powercycled it. It came backup but with quite high load. It's still high:

Cpu(s): 0.2% us, 0.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 1.0% id, 98% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0%si

What does wa mean? i can't find that anywhere?

The problem seems like it may be mysql related, as the load seems to fall when mysql is stopped, but im not 100% sure it's that, any ideas?!?!

Rgds,
Dan
