You know - It's difficult for me to tell on email if your tone here is 'sarcastic/funny' or 'sarcastic/patronizing' - sometimes punctuation / smileys can prevent you from being misunderstood. Just a friendly observation - it's not always obvious. This episode has really stressed me out so perhaps I'm not really in the mood for sarcasm - just help.
Anyway I always like to think the best of people (especially on this list) so I'll assume it's 'sarcastic/funny'. Back to my issue - I had actually done that - but there was only a kernel log of after the even (when I rebooted) nothing else at all - yes I have been though all the other messages.1 etc files also. Nada. If BX crashes like that - is it common that it's such a fatal crash that it's not logged? If so - I guess I'm never going to be able to find the cause of this - I wish I'd done a screen grab of the dump screen now. Is there any way of preparing / running something on this server so that if it happens again I might catch a bit more pre-crash data? Can you up the level of Kernel logging somehow? This box is on Linux version 2.6.18-92.1.22.el - is that pretty stable in terms of BX/Centos Kernels?
