one of my servers has developed a habit of dying (3rd time in 3 weeks).
I'm guessing hardware - memory?? something else?? This box has been
running for a couple of years.
Symptoms are different each time, and each time there is nothing obvious
in the log, but this was a photo of the death screen last time:

The previous freeze had the screen rolling too fast to read, so I assume
some sort of loop??
I didn't record the problem the first time it happened, but I recall it
was a static screen with error messages.
Each time the server dies the last log message before restart is a DHCP
request, which may mean nothing at all. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 (in the
process of upgrading but it hasn't happened yet).
Hard reboot gets it up again.
thanks..
David.
