The system reboots : itself every few days, but doesn't log any errors prior to the reboot. Set "savecore=yes" in /etc/sysconfig, and make sure the /var/crash directory exists. This way, when it boots up, ( and assuming something other than your computer hardware is causing the problem ) you should get a crash dump if it is a kernel problem. : Anyone run into this problem before? During one of the reboots several : files on the /usr partition got messed up pretty bad. I ran into something similar to this running Solaris X86 on a P200 machine. It would just spontaneously reboot. No logs or anything. Very spooky. Karl
