I was able to recreate the same problem essentially, only mine left a
kernel log and stack trace, and it was chat that actually caused the
problem. Check your
syslog messages and it should have left a kernel stack trace, a
description of the error, and a little line about what process caused
the kernel panic.
Right before the problem happened to me, however, I was compiling a
program and I got Signal 11 errors. In case you don't already know, sig
11 usually means
that there is a hardware problem. With new servers like you talk about
you shouldn't have anything, but mine is an old 486 (the only thing my
boss would spare,
since he read in an article that it will run on a 386) with 72pin non
parity memory. I rebooted and ran a diagnostic program we have and sure
enough the memory
was bad. I hope I may have given you some tips to help you track the
problem down.
If anyone wants the log of everything, drop me an e-mail personally and
I'll give it to you, I don't feel like spamming this list with a huge
syslog.
