[Techtalk] kernel panic

[Maria McKinley]

Hello there,

I had a mail server have a kernel panic this morning, and I am trying to 
find out what happened, but it seems totally mysterious. The last entry 
in the log is a standard postfix disconnect. All systems seemed fine 
right before the panic:

None of the partitions or drives are remotely close to being full. There 
may have been a network outage around the time of the panic, but this 
should not have caused a kernel panic. This machines runs a mail server, 
web server, and bind9. It booted back up just fine, and seems to be 
working happily now.

Is there something I should be logging that I am not, or something else 
that may give me a clue as to why this happened?

thanks,
maria
