I was able to recreate the same problem essentially, only mine left a kernel log and
stack trace, and it was chat that actually caused the problem. Check your
syslog messages and it should have left a kernel stack trace, a description of the
error, and a little line about what process caused the kernel panic.
Right before the problem happened to me, however, I was compiling a program and I got
Signal 11 errors. In case you don't already know, sig 11 usually means
that there is a hardware problem. With new servers like you talk about you shouldn't
have anything, but mine is an old 486 (the only thing my boss would spare,
since he read in an article that it will run on a 386) with 72pin non parity memory.
I rebooted and ran a diagnostic program we have and sure enough the memory
was bad. I hope I may have given you some tips to help you track the problem down.
If anyone wants the log of everything, drop me an e-mail personally and I'll give it
to you, I don't feel like spamming this list with a huge syslog.
