I have a server that seems to enjoy rebooting itself every so often (usually it goes days to weeks without doing anything, then it'll get into a fit and start rebooting every few days or so before quitting again.) My first guess right now is faulty memory sticks, however I can't take it down for testing. It's a production web server and unless I setup a backup for it (for which I do not have the hardware to accomplish,) I simply can't take it down. Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can diagnose this poor thing?
I stick my hand up for other people's suggestions of memtest86. However, you will need to reboot the server for that.
Have you tried compiling a kernel on the box? Although not as reliable and comprehensive as memtest86, it should certainly break if you have flaky hardware.
