I've got a test box running SUSE 10.0 that has hung twice in the last 24 hours.
How should I try to troubleshoot this? The first time I rebooted and found nothing in the log.
This is the second time and it is still hung. (hung == no network activity, no ping response, no keyboard response).
It is configured like a fileserver so it has ECC ram and hardware mirrored disks (3ware 2-port cards).
I have been lightly using the machine for a few weeks, but recently a couple of us have been doing some Ruby on Rails development. As part of that we setup FreeNX.
First thing I'd do is run memtest86 on it. Everytime I've experienced lockups like you describe, it's been a memory issue. Another possibility is CPU overheating. Be sure all your fans are running properly. -- Jim Cunning <jcunning@cunning.ods.org>
