Good.

Since installing the server, we've two times experienced that the server completely hang: all processes became unresponsive and there was no longer generated any log information.
It sometimes works out that you might still be able to ssh in from a remote machine and get some logs/dmesg, run top.

On a Dell Poweredge 750 {and I think other models see Dell forums} with FC3, if runlevel 5 was used or started, then an X process would go 99-10%, making the machine severely slow. {It required a reboot to get around this condition}. Just a thought.

You might also be able to leave some xterms open running top and tail -f /var/log/messages to see if anything is being logged.

Another thing to try would be a serial console, since any emissions before death would then be easily captured. Boot with console=ttyS0,9600n1 or some such and fire up minicom on another machine and use a null {crossover} serial cable.

Good luck.
