Server Crash

[Chris Stone]

Interesting - I am running on a dual processor 2650 and had not had any
problems till now. Before making this a MailScanner machine, it was an
shared Apache web server with about 100 domains on it running RedHat 7.3
with smp kernel.

There were well reported problems with Red Hat & Dell 2650's running in
dual processor mode. I would run with a single cpu and see if the
problem persists. Not sure if it is the same problem but its worth a
try.

See http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board?board.id=pes_linux

There's lots of info about lockup's on 2650's.
