kernel crash monitoring

[Radu Dragomir]

Hello everyone,

I've been searching the web for a way to obtain kernel dumps on crashes 
(kernel panic) and even though there are a few pieces of software that 
popped frequently most of them i foud to be more RHEL oriented which i'm 
not sure is exactly what i need.

Doing a "apt-cache search crash | grep kernel"  crash  seems to do the 
job though i can't seem to be able to find a nice how-to about it.
I am already using kerneloops but the info provided isn't enough to find 
the real problem behind the crashes.

So the big question is:

On a server running ubuntu karmic that crashes almost every 2 days (if 
not faster) what would be the best option to get a complete 
monitoring/analyzing solution and where can i find a detailed how-to to 
finally manage to find the problem (from the kernelooops output it seems 
to be a Interrupt failure that causes the kernel panics but i can't find 
the device causing it)?

Regards,
Dan
