It only did it once. I figured it might possibly be a hardware failure |
| 32 |
since I'm using used parts/refurbished parts, but I was wanting to |
| 33 |
know if I can check any log files to see exactly why, or enable some |
| 34 |
form of extended logging to |
| 35 |
pick it up if it happens again. I use syslog-ng for my system logger. |
| 36 |
I checked /var/log/messages and didn't find anything. |
| 37 |
Here is the last line before it froze from that log file and the first line |
| 38 |
immediately after: |
