Hey,

We've got a new system I've been trying to get going...  Specs are as
follows:

- Tyan S2880 motherboard
- Dual 246's
- 2gb ddr 333 ecc
- 3ware 8506 sata (I think)

The server will randomly crash.  I'm not sure if it's panicking or just
freezing, as whenever we plug a monitor into it it's dead to the world,
and thanks to screen-blanking isn't showing us what happened last on the
monitor ;)

All the server has been doing is acting as a mysql replication slave,
under extremely light load.  The crashes are not reproducable, but
frequent.  I've ran a few load tests and benchmarking tools, which the
server handled without problems.  I've updated the Tyan to the latest
release (2.02, from 11/17/03), and installed k_smp-2.4.21 from Suse 9,
neither helped.

The only helpful information I could find on the topic was this post:

I'm not sure what to try next, all help is appreciated.

Thanks!
