This is likely (almost certainly) a hardware issue. However, I would
like any guidance available on diagnosing the exact cause and remedy.
We have a warm standby server then went off line over the weekend.
The problem manifests itself as a kernel panic during the centos boot
process. The issue appears to be with auto-mounting a number of pci
devices. Unfortunately the error messages scroll off the monitor that
I attached to it. This is some of the residue text that I though might
have some use in diagnosing the problem.
Kernel panic not syncing: Fatal exception
Comm pciehpd Tainted: G DW -- -------
. . .
drm_k,s_helper panic occurred switching back to text mode.
At which point the system is non-responsive.
Any ideas as to what is going on? Any other information I should be
looking for?
