Over the weekend, we installed a new server based on two Xeon 5130
processors. We installed Fedora Core 5 and updated to the latest
versions on the package.
Since installing the server, we've two times experienced that the
server completely hang: all processes became unresponsive and there
was no longer generated any log information. In both cases we had to
hard reboot the machine. The first time after 3 hours, the second
time after 30 minutes.
1. Are there any known issues that could cause this?
2. Any suggestions for BIOS settings that might cause this
3. Any suggestions on how to determine whether this is the hardware
or the operating system.
The best suggestion, I've found so far is turning off unused services.
I've included the full output of "uname -a" and "/proc/cpuinfo" below
in case it matters.
Thank you in advance.
