But as nobody has even looked at the report I filed in the Ubuntu Bug database for 2 months. I try my luck here. I got a HP ML 350 G5 Server running and I occasionly receive kernel panics (vary from 1 time per week up to 2 months). I just want to get any pointer if this may be a hardware issue or a kernel issue, which in turn may have been fixed in a later version. As only Red Hat is supported by HP it will get rather difficult to get someone on service (we have an extended On site Warranty) an replace parts as we're running Ubuntu on the server and 2nd the diagnostic CD (Smart Start) shows that everything is ok (That

Normally server-class hardware doesn't cause these kinds of symptoms
from hardware problems, they usually spew NMIs, etc. but it's not
impossible. 2.6.15 is pretty ancient though. Can you try a newer kernel?
