kernel panic

Hi,

My server has hung with kernel panic. I am attaching the snapshot of hung console. Below is the server details,
Server Model :ProLiant BL20p G3(Itanium)
OS : RHEL 4

System/ console log doesn't have much helpful info .Also I have searched in knowledge base on Redhat site.

Any clues..

Thanks in advance,
Anil

Shalom Anil,

It would be helpful to know which update you are using.

Bringing the system down and performing full hardware diagnosis is a good step. Often sudden, unexplained kernel panics come from hardware issues.

I'd be sure the blade infrastructure is up to date on firmware and other issues.

i would say to a configure a netdmup server/clinet setup whihc will help to attempt a forcefull netdump(sysrq) which canbe used for further analysis.

Here is the link for setting up Sysrq:
