I'm running a Proxmox server (underlying system is Debian). The server tends to crash at random time intervals- sometimes it goes a week or so without crashing, and sometimes it takes several weeks. The system is completely unresponsive at this point.
On the screen it looks like the memory is dumped and I noticed the mention of a service being "tainted." See

After a little research I learned to run the following command to determine the kernel taint value:
Code:
root@proxmox:~$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted
4097
I'm not sure if this is even the cause of the repeated system crashes, nor how to actually address the "tainted" service.
