But I think I didn't express correctly the main objective of my mail: I can make by servers running under Linux... and I've justed tell I were using Debian stock kernel just for explaining it wasn't an home made with a possible error manually inserted, and to tell I was sure it was the same kernel I was using before my crash. My problem is not here. I am just trying to know if someone have an hint on the fact my servers behaviour change over the time with the same kernel/softwares. Sure I can add a more recent kernel and this may work correctly without adding kernel options. But If I have an hardware issue, perhaps it is better to know it now than latter. So that's why I've posted here. I just wanted to know if someone else already have noticed that before. No more. I was quite busy today so that I didn't have perform further tests with different kernel/configurations and debugging to learn more. Best regards, Matthieu
