Subject: [suse-sles-e] random reboots


Hi list,

My SLES server seems to be rebooting without rhyme or reason (that I can see,
that is).

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it's a hardware or a software problem (or
both), and that is (part of) what I'm trying to elucidate.

Already tried:
--------------

o looked at /var/log/messages, but could not find anything obvious.
o checked that the disks aren't full
o checked that there is no cron job that would do a restart

So my question is, where else do I look/what else can I do?

BTW I looked for archives/FAQ before posting this question (by sending mail to
suse-sles-e-faq@suse.com and suse-sles-e-info@suse.com), but it seems they
are not available by email. Are they available in some other way?

Details
-------

OS version: SuSE Enterprise Linux Server 9 (x86_64), version 9 patchlevel 3
Hardware: HP Proliant DL585 w/ 4 Opteron Dual core
Problem occurrence: reboots happen about once a week, with a slight
'preference' for weekends

(I don't quite know what else might be relevant - this is precisely part of
the problem...)

Any ideas?

All help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My apologies if this is the wrong list (but please tell me where I should
post!)
