this is a production server, so running an extended memtest not going to
happen. But I can swap it out and put it in a backup system to do the test.
It's beginning to look a lot like a RAM issue as I have now seen a couple
segfaults from programs that have always run fine. Every kernel panic message
is different (crashed again 1 hour ago). Fans and case temp are nominal.
the 3ware card was just purchased last month, it has the latest firmware and
bios installed.
the memory is from PQI - supposed to be an OK brand right? it has a lifetime
warranty... heh
next steps... HA and fault-tolerant clustering, per the adjacent thread...
this is the cautionary tale come to life.
fun fun fun
