I have a server that has been running RedHat
7.2 for several months with no problems. I restarted a daemon last evening
and
now the server reboots itself indiscrimantly: on
start of Gnome, on start of terminal shells, on start of daemons… I do
not think it is a file system problem. Sometimes Gnome will start with very
erratic mouse behaviour (uncontrollable) which leads
me to believe it is an X corruption, but other times it starts fine. Very
strange behavior. Anyone care to take a shot on the
problem and (most importantly) a fix (I do not want to rebuild the server).

Seriously, this is the ugliest message I have ever seen in my life. 
Sending HTML email to mailing lists really has an impact on how people on
the list perceive you . . .

Anyway, 10:1 it's a hardware issue.  Try dropping the drive in a similar
box and/or put a spare drive in the Linux box and put an OS on it for
testing.
