Hi,
during the last 3 months we are running a webserver which occasionaly crashes due to irq related kernel panics. It's an Ubuntu-Server running in a virtual environment. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? If we knew the reason for the crashes wo could contact our provider. I have a screenshot which I was able to save while the system was offline, you can find it here:
