Red Hat dropped update support for FC4 some time ago, and AFAIK the Fedora Legacy project is not getting things done. How old is the kernel you're using?
Linux mojo 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4smp #1 SMP Tue Jul 11 22:57:02 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Unfortunately, the decision about which kernel to run is more or less out of my hands. I would personally really dislike fedora and would much prefer to be running centos/redhat as. That said, your comments and those of others are very helpul in regards to fixing that. we tried update to the latest via yum update with no help. as promised, here is the best photo of the panic we could get: http://img144.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dumpic6.jpg We did an emergency downgrade to 8.1 and will monitor the situation...the decision to get a new server has already been made and hopefully it will be on a more stable platform. big thanks to all who took a few minutes out of their day to lend a hand. merlin
