My redhat 7.2 system has recently started crashing - three times today, once
yesterday, once last week.

My question is where do I start looking for information on the crash?  What
can I do to give myself more info the next time it crashes?  If this were
hpux or solaris the OS would be monitoring drives for predictive failures
and a whole bunch of other stuff, and I'd get a kernel crash dump that would
at least mean something to the vendor.

There is *nothing* unusual in any of the log files under /var/log leading up
to the crash - just the start-up messages that start when it comes back up.
The system is not overly loaded, has a config that hasn't changed in a long
time, and is well-protected by iptables, is all up-to-date on packages.

I had already modified syslog.conf to log all kernel messages into
/var/log/kernel, so that's covered - other than that it's a stock
syslog.conf file.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks for any suggestions or advice...
