Hi,
We have a server which locks up about once a week (for the past 3
weeks now), without any warning, and the only way to recover it, is to
reset the server. This causes unwanted downtime, and often software
loss as well.
How do I debug the server, which runs CentOS 5.2 to see why it locks
up? The CPU is an Intel Q9300 Core 2 Quad, with 8 GB RAM, on an Intel
Motherboard
