Something else, along this same thought thread ...
What kind of motherboard and RAMM are you using? My company
had a computer built, using an ASUS CL2 motherboard and Micron RAMM.
BAD IDEA!
We were getting very strange problems, mostly kernel panics
but also random issues with out any discernable cause. Processes just
died, followed shortly by the entire box. The problems appears after
a few weeks and became increasingly frequent. After about a month of
this, BOTH 256 MB RAMM modules were fried to the point that the
server wouldn't stay up for more than a few hours.
We switched to Samsung RAMM and haven't had any more problems
(knock wood!) for several months, now.
Note to all: Avoid ASUS motherboards in combination with
Micron RAMM. I'm sure that they're fine by themselves. Just don't put
them together!
