Few things:
<BR>
<BR>
1) Are there any relevent entries in /var/log/messages right before the kernel starts stuff for the next reboot?
<BR>
2) Have you applied any of the RedHat updates to 7.1? 7.1 was the first version with the 2.4 kernel series and, IIRC, had an odd compiler and library problem until the updates where applied.
<BR>
3) Hard drive: Is there anything that is leading you to this conclusion?
<BR>
4) What is creating the 'heavy load'?

It freezes when it is put under a consistent (rather heavy) load. The other machines, with the same type of setup, seem to do OK. The problem is that I am not sure what component is actually causing the lockup. I can't find anything in any of the logs that would give my some clue. The screen also goes dead, so there is no info there.</FONT></FONT></I>
