I have a Red Hat 8.0 box that seems to be having ECC problems with one of the raid 1 disk drives, and smartd logging that for me so I will have to get a warranty replacement. Red Hat 7.2 might be too old for that. As another pointed out, it could well be a power problem. If you are in the northern hemisphere you have summer, and you might be having little black- or brown-outs that are more common this time of year. Luckily, at least where I live, UPSs are quite cheap these days. If you just put your computer on it (not your monitor), it doesn't take a very big (or expensive) UPS to tide you over most power problems. Also, speaking of summer, things can get hot this time of year, and that can cause hardware problems. Is the machine kept cool enough? Otherwise, I would suspect broken hardware. Finally, my parents were having a similar problem with their Macintosh. Sometimes it would just reboot. But it only happened when my father was using it. He swore he wasn't kicking the power plug under the desk, but it also stopped happening after that suggestion... -kb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
