Greetings everyone,
I've got a problem with my fileserver running CentOS 3.1. The kernel seems to crash about once a day (inevitably when I'm not present), forcing me to reboot. This behavior started after I applied the new kernel patch (2.4.21-15.0.3.EL.c0).
I've left it on 2.4.21-15.0.2 for a little bit to see if it will crash tonight/tomorrow. As this may be a hardware problem, I'm reluctant to put it into bugzilla until I can pin it on something.

Update:
The machine has been running 2.4.21-15.0.2 since yesterday and hasn't crashed yet. I see nothing wrong so far. As there is no indication of hardware problems, I'm thinking something is hokie with the 15.0.3 kernel.
Seeing the Linux kernel crash is not a familiar experience. I've only seen it crash from hardware failure or really bad proprietary modules (drivers).
Thoughts? Comments?
I have been running 2.4.21-15.0.3 since 7/5/04 on 4 machines (on continuously) with no problems at all...including my main firewall/webserver/mailserver machine at home.
