Today at around 11:50am EST my server which is co-located in California
pretty much cut me off.
No passwords would be accepted though telnet, ftp, ssh/ssh2 both failed.  My
only savior was webmin.  It took me 5 hours of trying to track down the
problem with no shell (very frustrating) and eventually I had to reboot it.
I finally just got back in and started browsing the logs.  Oh man. The
kernel hit HARD.  The wierd thing was that the only problem was that I
couldn't login to get a console. I could check my mail (POP), browse the
website, use webmin, etc.  I was super frustrated.

I got about 300KB worth of these kernel errors.  Here's the output from the
first one:  (the others are mostly sshd2(us trying to get in), and crond.

Kernel 2.2.14  SMP  [I tried to compile 2.2.15. It locked the box up. =( ]

--------------------------------
You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will assume
that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running right now
and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
Warning, no symbols in lsmod, is /proc/modules a valid lsmod file?

5 warnings issued.  Results may not be reliable.

---------------------------------

Anyone know what this means?
I'm not familiar with ksymoops, so any suggestions or help would be much
appreciated.
This box was previously up for 6 days with light load until this occurance.


Thanks,
