I have seen the same thing twice on Dell PowerEdge 2650. In both cases, hyperthreading had to be disabled. One disabled in the BIOS; one disabled using the 'noht' kernel parameter. kernel version 2.4.18-18.7.x Red Hat 7.3 When hyperthreading is enabled and there is a heavy load on the system (doesn't seem to matter what type of load, i.e. web, samba, ftp, etc.), the system freezes up and/or shuts down with absolutely nothing but a time lapse in the logs. Please let me know what else I can provide.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
