Hello Chris,
I have an older Compaq ProLiant 800 server running RH73. This
server ran flawlessly for 2 years, with an uptime of about 300 days
before it crashed the other day with a kernel panic. I rebooted and
then installed some errata updates using apt including upgrading the
kernel to the latest version (2.4.28 I believe). Ever since the day
of the crash, the server has been going down once a day with kernel
panics. This must be a hardware problem since the server is pretty
old and it ran perfect for over 300 days straight before this. I
tried replacing the Smart Array 531 RAID controller with a newer
Smart Array 3200 controller and also replaced the NIC but its still
crashing with kernel panics. There is absolutely nothing in the
logs that I can see. How can I troubleshoot this? Should I just
replace the old server? The server is out of warranty, otherwise I
would call Compaq/HP for some hardware troubleshooting.
Check the firmware levels. I've noticed instablity with Compaq/HP
servers after kernel upgrades due to old firmware levels.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Andre
