Hmm... Thanks, everyone, for the info. FYI, the server is a dell
poweredge 2400. Dell hasn't been very friendly in giving detailed
information (like kernel source code for RAID support in linux)..
As you saw, I got the NMI on Mar 15. The server run period was Jan 5 -
May 15. I only shut it down because I had to clean it and add a network
card. Go linux! ;) I'll go for the cosmic ray theory unless I get
another NMI this year.. IIRC, I ran the dell burn-in test (full ram test)
when i got this server. If anything, I can always pull a dimm and stop
working on 30 megapixel images ...
