From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i586; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: I've seen random system reboots with all RH 7.3 kernels, including the most recent kernel-smp-2.4.18-18.7.x. All RPMs are up to date on the system, and there are no messages in /var/log/messages that indicate what may have happened. I'll be sending an email to my LUG tomorrow, but would appreciate any help that y'all can give me in looking at other log files or in setting up the system to provide more verbose error messages for the next reboot. The frequency is several months between each reboot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: The system randomly reboots itself. It's only a matter of time. Additional info:
can you provide lsmod output so that I can see what drivers are in use ?

The server rebooted itself yesterday, Jan 30 at 18:31 PST. I'm working upgrading to the latest kernel, although it's supposed to fix an ext3 data corruption problem, and not random reboots.
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/
