I have a dual processor system on which I installed RedHat Linux 6.2. What
happens then is that after the system has been running for some time, the
entire system freezes up. Console and X dies and so does any telnet/ftp
session.
There is no kernel panic and nothing on screen indicating what happened. No
error messages at all (even in the logs - /var/log/messages). This happens
when running X and also when running at the command line. It happens
indeterminately - sometimes the system is fine for a couple of days,
sometimes only for twenty minutes. It happens when running the smp version
of the kernel and also when running the "single processor" version of the
kernel.
As you can see, I cannot figure out WHY the system is hanging. I would
appreciate help in figuring out where the problem lies. At least some way to
narrow down the problem to something more specific. I am guessin that it
cannot be any of the applications running (mostly server stuff, httpd,
inetd, samba etc) and probably not even the kernel (the kernel will give
explicit error messages, right?).
The system also has NT 4.0 installed on it but I have not encountered the
hanging I find in linux.
