===== Original Message From msmit@cpm.com (Mike Smit) ===== We may be having the same problem - our server just now crashed again, fifteen hours after the last reboot. I had vmstat running at the time, and the last few entries show the buffer space dropping off alarmingly and the system cpu use shooting up,
from this. . .

We crashed after the last entry. Is there any documentation out there of possible memory leaks in the 2.4.18 (Suse Linux 8.0 Pro) kernel? We're thinking of upgrading from 2.4.18-57 to 2.4.18-212, but we're a bit worried about possible ramifications. If you've been running stable with the latter kernel, perhaps we should make the switch. Thanks to everyone with the patience to read these missives - this list has been extremely helpful.

looks like a common problem of the 2.4.18 (s8) and also 2.4.19 (s8.1) kernel - got the same problem here and we're not alone ;-) .. try 2.4.18 from suseftp update/8.0/lsb (something like this) ... runs stable here ... tracking the freeze of the kernel is really hard i guess because no oops or any var/log/messages is written before it bombs down ...

Hi,
Notice when the computer freezes, and check if you can find any error messages in /var/log/messages related to that time. That might help you locate the cause of the problem.
