Hi,
We have a Compaq Proliant ML350 with two 1G P4's and hardware RAID. It's
running RHL 7.3 with the general services services enabled. Only
exception is that qmail and tinydns have replaced the original
counterparts. A bare installation of X is present, just enough provide
libraries that allow users to remotely view postscript files.
Now the problem is that the server hangs intermittently, for no apparent
reason. The keyboard stops responding, the monitor goes blank and it
does not respond to ping packets. We had heard of a kernel bug in RHL
7.3 which causes SMP machines with ext3 to panic. But the hang-ups
continue even after upgrading to kernel-smp-2.4.18-10 from
redhat.com
We suspect a hardware problem since an identical machine is working fine
with the same setup. Only difference is that this second machine does
not have active users yet. But where do I start looking to rule out any
config problems, bad software, careless users etc? The logs never get
written, since we have to reset the machine ...
Sameer.
