Hi Carlos,
I got terrible problem, my production machine crashed after runs 12 hours.
Below the last messages from /var/log/boot.msg
The last lines from /var/log/messages would be more useful than the boot log.
There is no clue to guess what the problem could have been. And it was only once...
Test the usual suspects: memory and hard disk. Use memtest, smartctl...
Thank you so much for your advises. Below the last useful log from /var/log/messages. Seems the machine crashed after run MRTG on Dec 26 19:20:01. The traffic.cfg captured eth1 that uses SNMP (other cfg do not use SNMP). Our administrator did a hard reboot by turn off the power switch and the box was "luckily" able back to run on Dec 26 19:23:03. I also experiencing same problem (at this box) 2-3 days before this problem happen. The box crashed when run snmpwalk. But I am curios, does SNMP activity cause system crashed?
