the forum/kb/queue server hung right after i went to bed last night, so pretty bad timing. was down from 12:13 am to about 8:44 am cst.

as for the cause, there is nothing in the logs and the tech who reset the server told me he saw nothing printed to the screen. was totally blank he said. so i'm in the dark on that. but after it came back this morning i realized i had neglected to set the kernel.panic_on_oops and the kernel.panic sysctl parameters on this server to enable automatic reset in case of a severe software or hardware problem (as this apparently was). so i did that now. so with any luck, at the very least, if it recurs, the downtime will be a few minutes instead of 8+ freaking hours.

D'oh. Thanks for the information.
this time the server didn't come back because the bios was having trouble detecting one of the disks. so i had tech support reseat all the drive cables in the machine and that solved it. with any luck the cause of the earlier instability was the same and we will be through with this now.
