[plug] re: server freezing

[Jon Miller]

No hardware changes (new server), no flashing keyboard.  When the server boot check dmesg shows everthing is okay.  The hard part is there are no indication that there is a problem.

Interesting. Usually I'd be saying "hardware" at this point, but that 
shouldn't be the case with the system you mentioned. Try setting up a 
serial console if you can (see my previous posts on this).

Are the keyboard LEDs flashing (indicating a panic?) or does it just die 
silently?

Any recent hardware changes?
