[aclug-L] Re: Help my Servers falling and won't stay up

[Clint Brubakken <cabrubak@xxxxxxx>]

 2.4.9-21.0RS , I assume RS is rack space
I don't get this problem on my workstation which is a redhat 7.2 w 
2.4.7-10 and a K6 2 or 3  550 vs an athlon 700 for our server.

I'm wondering if it is a heat issue? It only seems to  happen under
constant mild stress.
