This is going to sound vague, but here goes...
I have a dual opteron system that has been acting as the worldly node for a
small cluster of computers since September, 2004. The machine is running
the latest x86_64 Fedora 10 kernel that I recently loaded (April 2). The
machine reboots without warning. I can't find the cause in log files (maybe
I'm not looking in the correct log).
I'm currently running memtest. If all of the tests pass, could the
community suggest other diagnostic tasks or information I could post to help
diagnose the problem?
I wish I could be more specific,

I had a similar problem with a machine. It would reboot and go through several
reboots before it would give me a login screen. Then it would crash without
warning. It was a bad memory module; the machine would boot fine with one, but
not with two modules.
If you have more than one memory module test by using one at a time. Maybe
memtest will give some info.
