Setting up diskdump (or preferably) netconsole from netdump may help you find the root-cause. We retrofitted all 400 systems with netconsole at one customer after we were stuck finding why one server died on us. If it is not reproducable you lost your (maybe only) opportunity to have it fixed. So in the end the effort of setting up netconsole for a company's datacenter is something you better do from the start, because the moment you really need it, it's already too late :) -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
