I have a HP G7 server, OS is RHEL 6.0, and it often kernel panic.

Who can tell me how to find the cause?

I even try use kdump service to collect the cause, but you know, the kdump(kexec) have a bug, so collect fail.

At which moment doest the kernel panic happen? I suppose the boot process?
If this is so, try to start with the fallback image and then send your /var/log/boot, it could help finding the cause.

but it happen in running time, not at boot time. and the /var/log/boot dir is empty.

I see now your OS is RHEL. Have you asked your question at Fedoraforum or by RedHat?

not yet.

I only register a Linux forum -- Archlinux.

but I have lookup Red Hat Bugzilla, without solution.
