Yes, i want to dump my frequently frozen remote server, automatically, if it
is possible.  (using null-modem cable, and another server.)

Anyway, i made it this time by hand.

Here is the dump:
http://download.netcenter.hu/bughunt/20060528/log.txt  (400KB!)

Can somebody tell me, what is wrong exactly?

Anyway, i interested about, how can i -a single user- interpret these dump
to made error reporting more useful?


The problem:
I used one stable system on 32bit, but i need to switch to X86_64, because
the nbd cannot use >2TB devices on 32bit.
I have reinstall the RH 9.0 to FC 5.0, and recompiled everything what i used
to serving. (the OS is only for external tasks.)

But on 64bit, my system becomes unstable.
Sometimes it is frozen, but no error message at all!
I can see, the crond-jobs is hangs too, but syslog can post messages, but no
valuable at all.
(I cannot login with ssh.)

Thats why i need to dump with serial console.

Can somebody help me? :-)

Here is the "normal" dmesg message:

Thanks,
Janos
