Hi there,
I am hoping someone can help me. This morning one of our web servers crapped itself and I don't know why. It's running RedHat 7.2 kernel version 2.4.9-31smp. I couldn't login from the console so I had to reset it. When it came back up it was fine. This is what I am seeing in the messages log:

I have searched on google for some of these messages but I couldn't find anything helpful. Any help or direction would be apprecaited.

I am not subscribed to this list so email to me directly would be great. If I am mailing to the wrong list my apologies.

Thanks so much all!
