I have an ensim on RackShack, and almost every 1 to 2 weeks has to be rebooted.

I have found this on /var/log/messages

what does this means?

Do i have faulty hardware? or it is Linux? it is not supposed to be stable?

My server has to be rebooted every week... and hosting customers are not happy about that...

Anybody can help me with this?

thanks!!!

Faulty Memory... after 6 reboots, they found it...

if you ever have a problem at Rackshack, force them to investigate it and not just close the Trouble Tickets...

End of problem.

Hmm thats funny. A rackshack server with hardware issues and funny support. Never heard of that before. :D

Yeah, thats really weird.

They only have thousands upon thousands of servers, you'd think there would never be a problem!

Really, really weird.

And where are all the posts from people who have no problems whatsoever with their RS servers? You'd think that they would be the most vocal about their lack of problems. Hanging out on WHT posting about their lack of problems.

I find this all very strange.....
