Did you see anything > in syslog? Anything (workload, etc) changed right before the crash? Was there a core file in the root directory or at your home directory ? If it exists, you can get backtrace of the segmentation fault with gdb, and it may give very helpful information to narrow down the root cause of the problem. Usually, we use gdb for this purpose as follows: # gdb tgtd /core.12345 ... (gdb) bt You may need to install *-dbg package if your tgt has no symbol information.
