> Hi,
>  I have just installed RH9. I find that the machine crashes all of a
sudden or just freezes. Since it is not a graceful shutdown, the filesystems
don't get synced and this causes a lot of grief when I boot the system
again. Are there any logs that I can check which will give me some insight
into these unexpected crashes. Does anyone know if there are some known
issues with 2.4.20-8 kernel which might cause this.

I don't know anything about the kernel issues, but bad memory can be a
culprit in these situations.  Try downloading the CD iso at:
http://www.memtest86.com, burn it to a CD, then boot from the CD and run the
full test several times.  If you run the full suite (not just the first 7
default tests) and run it for at least three passes, you're looking at 24
hours, but it will definitely tell you if there are RAM issues.
