Hi all ,
A machine with Debian on it hangs suddenly for no reason.
Below are the snapshots of the file /var/log/syslog
I am not able to figure whats the reason.
The eth0 eepro100 goes down and after rebooting its fine.
But i doubted the line LOWMEM
Is that the reason or any other?
any ideas or suggestins?

In some detail, what hardware? I'm guessing Sun (and not from the host 
name).

You might need to run a serial cable to another box and run syslog's o/p 
through it (if you can) and certainly the kernel messages: you can get 
the kernel messages out like so:
kernel=/boot/vmlinuz console=ttyS0,19200
