Hi,

I have a RedHat box with two NICs, one connect to internet and other to LAN. The system works as firewall, IDS and VPN only.
The problem is that the system is crash and the logs not register any error messages.
The crash occurs aleatoric hours. I tried format the system and reinstall, but don´t resolved. Any can help me, please?

Thanks by help.

put "console=0,2400n8" as a boot option in lilo and catch the error messages using a hyperterminal thru a nullmodem cable to find the problem

if you cant do that then recompile your kernel with "early printk" enabled and catch the errors onscreen.

r u sure its aleatoric?
or is there a time frame?? 1 day 2 days?
how busy is ur server after all?
perhaps its some sort of hardware over heating?
or maybe be a bad video card driver?
power supply?
have u tried 2 swap some hardwares?
