My Dell PowerEdge T105 running Centos-5.2 has started crashing fairly often (3 times in the last 2 hours). The message on the screen tells me to look at the System Event Log. Is this just /var/log/messages ?
The only System Event Log I know of is part of the BIOS. If you enter your BIOS setup you might find something recorded, or you can try running "dmidecode -t system" (as root) and see if anything meaningful shows up. There's a manpage for dmidecode, but I doubt you'll find much of interest there.
