ok now i am frustrated. this is the third day in a row that my server has crashed running centos4, i can not ping or access the console but the hardware is still running. it does not leave any logs that i can see of, is there more problems with this than the few postings i have seen here. is there a problem with the kernel? i am almost to the point of bringing my box back down to 3.4 if this keeps up.

I may have missed your previous posting..what hardware is this running on?

I know that on my one system it will freeze up if I don''t boot with that option. Not sure if it applies here or not, but it could help. To add this option, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf , and add noapic to the end of the kernel entry line. -Ryan
Chiming in on the other posts regarding RAM. IMHO the biggest single point for unexplained crashes lockups etc. Secondly, I would also try the noapic if the RAM is not the culprit. Best way to find out: insert a known good RAM module and monitor behaviour. Good luck and keep us posted! Be well, TR CentOS Rocks!
