Hi, my dual Opteron server is experiencing strange problems; the same I've been seeing since I installed it back in May. After a bit of uptime (varies between 1-2 days and a month or two, depending on the kernel release I am running) it will start acting up (if I'm lucky) or simply panic. I have no panic message dump, since the box is very far away and last time it paniced I had no serial console. However yesterday it started acting up again: I was no longer able to log in via SSH. Whenever I tried, the SSH client bailed out with the message: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host On my serial console I have syslog set to spew *.* on the console, but there was absolutely no messages from sshd or any other source whatsoever. Running /etc/rc.d/sshd restart solved the problem - for now - but I'm worried that this might be indicative of a more serious problem. I will not be surprised if the box panics sometime in the next few hours or days. Anyone got any idea? This is a 12 day old build. A related question: How do I make absolutely sure that kernel messages are output on the serial console? I'm currently not sure this is the case, so I don't know if I can even do anything when it crashes next time. I've scanned through the handbook etc, but couldn't find any info. Might have missed it, anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks, /Eirik
