Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 System Locking Up Daily

One of the them recently began to lock up completely once-a-day. If we power down and reboot (with the switch), it comes up fine, but after a day, the LCD is locked up and all services are unreachable. The only "service" that does still respond is Ping, which is bad, because it tells our load-balancer that the machine is up when in reality all services are down. I searched but only came up with some warm hits. Any ideas about what's going on here?

I would start with looking at the fans, make sure all are running, sounds 
like you are overheating the server.  You also may want to look at 
/var/log/messages to see if there are any error in there correlating to 
the time the server locks up.  One time we had a similar issue, but it 
wouldn't even respond to ping and it was the ide controller.
