Well, not necessarily. I didn't mean to imply that there would be
helpful messages in there; there may or may not. If you only see syslog
entries that are normal to you before the reboot, that is entirely
plausible. If we get stuck in a loop or something somewhere or just
manage to wedge the machine extremely well, it's possible for the
machine to just freeze without saying anything.

I would expect the debuginfo packages for the kernel will have what you
need. I think Red Hat and SuSE are usually pretty good at getting this
to work automatically if you have the kernel and the kernel debuginfo
packages installed.

And I don't recall, why are you using 1.5.77? Is the Linux xlator even
more broken on that kernel version in the 1.4 series?
