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.
The server has an A-Bit KR7A motherboard with an Athlon XP 1700+, 1.5 GB of RAM, 4 120 GB ATA-100 hard drives mirrored in two sets (hence I only have 240 GB available), a Cirrus Logic GD 5430 video card, and an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100.
There is nothing useful in /var/log/messages and the only reason I know when it crashes is due to my fetchmail log.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Did I patch too soon?
Any suggestions on where I might look for info on why it's crashing? The screen's blank and the keyboard lights are flashing.
Thanks in advance,
Shawn M. Jones
