In my case, the server crashes in an intresting way. Ping requests are honoured by the Linux box, and any TCP connection is opened, but after the connection is opened, no response comes from the affected machine. Also I call this a crash, because no log contains any entry after this *crash* occurs.
Now about the kernel installation. I don't know if the server is using lilo or grub. Is there any easy way to find this out. I dumped the first 512 bytes from /dev/hda and I think I saw LILO somewhere in there.
